3. Boom Swivel Bearings (gure 4.3d): Grease the
boom bearings once every week with a multi-purpose
moisture resistant #2 grease.
4. PTO Bearing & PTO Shaft Fitting (gure 4.3e):The
PTO bearings should be greased after every 50 hours
of operation with a high grade, high temperature lithium
base #2 lubricant having an operating temperature of
200 degrees F. Three to ve pumps with a hand oper-
ated grease gun is sufcient. NOTE: Units manufac-
tured after 2000 may not have a PTO bearing grease
tting. These bearings are sealed and do not require
greasing. The PTO crossover shaft and linkage should
be lubricated with high temperature lithium base #2
lubricant after 200 hours of operation.
5. Hinge and Friction Points: Leaf vacuum operation
and longevity can be improved by keeping hinges and
friction points lubricated. It is recommended that lubri-
caton be performed weekly. Use SAE30 weight oil on
hinges and a premium grade, high temperature lithium
based EP#2 grease on friction points.
6. Hitch and Tongue (gure 4.3f): The hitch and hitch
ring should be checked and lubricated daily to minimize
wear. Apply grease and/or SAE30 weight oil wherever
applicable.
