CV DRIVELINE PROFILE LUBRICATION

Grease telescoping profile tube through slots in shield tubes.

NOTE: If slots do not align, cut another slot in outer shield that will align with hole in inner shield.

WING DRIVELINE PROFILE LUBRICATION

Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the

U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the

telescoping tubes after 8 hours of use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the

shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the shields bearing every 16 hours.

The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly

has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication weekly.

To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or repair, remove the screws on the Shield. Slip the Shield

Cone Bearing over the Driveline Housing of Shaft against the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield

over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into the Shield Bearing Retainer. Align holes on the Shield and

replace the screws in the Shield.

Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the

Driveline without binding.

When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring-activated locking

collar slides freely and locking balls are seated in groove on PTO shaft. A loose shaft could

slip off and result in personal injury or damage to cutter.
