In addition to the above referenced
information, you are working with a central
lube CV design on the primary that contains a
special lubrication provision that needs to be
well defined for the user so that extended life
on the CV can be achieved.
The key point is that each CV has one zerk in a
bearing cap and it is this zerk that is most
important since it feeds the inboard cross kit as
well as the the ball and socket of the CV. The
user needs to understand that the zerk in the
cap should receive
15-20 pumps of grease
each day while the other zerks in the joint
CV housing and telescoping members can
operate with 5-6 pumps or until the seals
purge. The plastic zerks feeding the shielding
should also receive 3-4 pumps daily if shields
are being restrained.
Primary Driveline (to Tractor) Lubricate
fittings D1 through D6 every eight hours of
operation.
Secondary Driveline (under spreader)
Lubricate as above including overrunning
clutch.
NOTE: Lubrication step D5 is only necessary when driveline does not have grease fitting. Separate front
and rear halves of driveline and brush with grease.
