GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT:
Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is performed
on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc.
LUBRICATION
Become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a routine to ensure complete lubrication of the
Top Shot .
PTO ASSEMBLY
Keep the male and female shafts of the PTO well-lubricated and free-sliding. Failure to observe this
precaution will result in excessive pressure being required to collapse or extend the assembly while
subject to operating torque. This excessive force may damage the main shaft bearings. Never lubricate
the shield surfaces. The shield surfaces must be kept dry, as dirt accumulation on them will cause the
shields to bind and not rotate. Dented or damaged PTO shields will also result in excessive force being
applied against the jackshaft. Damaged shields also cause difficulty when installing the assembly. If at
any time the shields do not turn freely, they should be checked to determine the cause and repaired or
cleaned. To avoid damage to the main drive bearings, avoid turning sharp corners while PTO is running.
Start and stop PTO slowly to avoid damage to the drive line.
WHEEL BEARING LUBRICATION, CLEAN & RE-PACK INSTRUCTIONS
Grease wheel bearings as needed depending on amount of travel.
Annually disassemble and clean parts in a solvent. Pack bearings
with a high grade grease. Reassemble, and tighten nut until a slight
drag is felt when wheel is turned. Back nut off and insert cotter pin
into first hole that you see as you back the nut off, bend cotter pin
over and reinstall cap.
