8.0 MAINTENANCE
8.1 LUBRICATION
NOTE: If telescoping members become hard to slide during normal operation, it is recommended the shaft be
taken apart, cleaned with solvent and recoated with grease before reassembling. As a minimum it is
important this be done monthly.
NOTE: Use a grease type that is composed of a high quality lithium complex or better, unless otherwise stated.
We recommend using a #1 grade in colder temperatures or a #2 grade in warmer temperatures.
8.1.1 PTO Lubrication Prior to Use
Using the CV Zerk place 20 pumps of grease into the
CV center housing. This should be done with the driveline / CV
as straight as possible.
Slowly articulate the double joint through its maximum joint
angle several times.
Return the CV joint to its straight position and insert additional
grease into the CV Zerk until grease is evident around the
housing and center sliding disk.
Shutoff and lockout power before performing machine service,
adjusting, maintaining, or clearing an obstruction from this machine.
Refer to section 5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER.
Fluid such as hydraulic fluid, grease, etc., must be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner. Some regulations require that certain
spills and leaks on the ground must be cleaned in a specific manner.
See local, state and federal regulations for the correct disposal.
Failure to grease the CV center housing and telescoping members
will reduce the life of the CV joint.
Check regularly for any lubricant leakage of the front gearbox and the
(3) gearboxes at the rear of the spreader.
