Figure 4. Jackstand Placement and Lubrication Points

LUBRICATION

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,

particularly when operating in sandy areas.

See Figure 4 for lubrication points and frequency or

lubrication based on normal operating conditions.

Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-

quent lubrication.

Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY

(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless

otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly

before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most

guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is fol-

lowed.

Gearbox Lubrication

For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity

index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL–

4 or –5 in gearboxes. Splitter Gearbox; Fill gearbox

until oil runs out the side plug on gearbox. Wing Gear-

box; Fill gearbox until oil is just above lower line on dip-

stick. Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage, and

contact your dealer if leakage occurs. Use sealant on

vent plug threads during installation. Check vent plug

periodically and clean if it does not relieve pressure.

Driveline Lubrication

1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight

operating hours. Failure to maintain proper

lubrication could result in damage to U-joints,

gearbox, and driveline.

2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from

tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not

disconnect from each other.

3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male

half where it meets female half. Slide drive halves

over each other several times to distribute grease.
