Lubrication
Recommendations
Always use a good quality multi-purpose / lithium
base grease when lubricating the equipment.
IMPORTANT
Do not over-grease bearings. Greasing too
often can damage seals and lead to premature
bearing failure.
• Always use a hand-held grease gun.
• Clean fitting before greasing, to avoid injecting
dirt and grit.
• Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
• If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean
thoroughly. Replace fitting if necessary.
WARNING
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Stop engine, set brake, remove ignition key,
and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
Support the equipment with blocks or safety
stands before working beneath it.
Follow good shop practices:
• Keep service area clean and dry
• Be sure electrical outlets and tools are
properly grounded
• Use adequate light for the job.
Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient
capacity for the job. Replace and secure all
shields removed during servicing before
operating.
Use heavy leather gloves to handle sharp
objects.
PTO Driveline Grease Locations
IMPORTANT
Fluid such as engine oil, hydraulic fluid,
coolants, grease, etc. must be disposed of
in an environmentally safe manner. Some
regulations require that certain spills and leaks
on the ground must be cleaned in a specific
manner. See local, state and federal regulations
for the correct disposal.
Figure 35
Apply two to three pumps of grease to the cross
and bearings (Item 1) on the PTO driveline [Figure
35].
Grease every 8 hours.
NOTE: Images may not show your exact PTO
driveline but the procedure is correct.
