LUBRICATION
To lubricate the bearings in the PTO/Clutch
USE ONLY NGLI (National Grease and
Lubrication Institute) APPROVED High
grade, lithium base #2, short fiber grease
with an EP (extreme pressure) additive
recommended for use in high-speed roller
bearings operating at 200°F (93.3°C).
Carlton uses TEXACO
®
STARPLEX II
grease. Listed below are the manufacturer’s
suggested guidelines for lubrication:
1. Release Bearing – using a hand-operated
grease gun, add 1 or 2 pumps of grease
per 8 to 10 hours of operation (or add
grease until grease begins to weep from
the ID of the bearing and from the
release sleeve and the shaft). Rotate the
shaft manually (by hand) while adding
grease.
DO NOT OVER GREASE!
2. Main Bearings – grease every 100 hours
of operation. Add grease until grease is
forced out of the labyrinth seal(s) around
the shaft. Manually (not by starting the
engine) rotate the shaft while adding
grease.
3. PTO cross shaft (engagement linkage) –
grease every 500 hours of operation.
Add 1 or 2 pumps of grease using a hand
operated grease gun.
