LUBRICATING THE BEARINGS
• The bearings are lubricated at the factory, and a simi-
lar lubricant should be used for subsequent lubricati-
on (Shell Alvania Grease R 3. or Kendall L427). An
excessive amount of grease causes overheating and
impairs lubrication.
• Lubricate the bearings every 200 working hours or
at least once a year.
1. Open the upper bearing housing - see bearing housing
assembly drawing, (pic. 7a). Remove old grease as
carefully as possible and replace it with new grease.
Do not fill the bearing housing with grease.
2. Install the upper bearing housing and tighten to
50 Nm.
LUBRICATING THE PTO SHAFT
• Lubricate the PTO shaft prior to operation and
regularly, as shown in Fig. 9.
• Lubricate the inner surface of the PTO shaft, accessed
via the outer profile tube.
• Lubricate the shield tubes in wintertime to prevent
them from freezing and sticking.
