PTO Shaft
Equipment Required
•
Manually operated grease gun supplying NLGI #2 Molybdenum Disulphide Grease to M6/M8
grease nipples
•
24mm hex socket/spanner
IMPORTANT:
Proper and correct frequency of lubrication of all the rotating and sliding parts of the various PTO
shafts fitted to the machine is essential for the correct function, longevity and reliability of the shaft. Insufficient
lubrication or contamination is one of the most frequent causes of PTO shafts.
The joints, telescopic member and shields must be lubricated at intervals related to the environment and working
conditions for the machine.
Bondioli & Pavesi recommend
NLGI #2 Molybdenum Disulphide Grease
on all crosses, telescoping members
and shields. This grease contains additives which offer corrosion resistance, strength and adhesion at extreme
pressures (EP) along with other benefitting properties.
When lubricating cross kits, pump grease until the grease purges from all four bearing caps.
Pump the grease
gradually
. Avoid high pressures, especially those possible from pneumatic equipment.
The grease nipples on each end of the input shaft are accessible by rotating the plastic safety shield until the cut-
out hole allows the grease point to be exposed.
The grease nipples found on the connecting shafts (standard version; see Section 1.5.2.4) joining the splitter
gearbox and each of the rotor gearboxes require the need for the driveline guard to be removed in order to
accessed.

NOTE:
All values throughout this section are given on the assumption that a
manually operated grease gun
is
used to carry out the greasing procedures giving a
predicted quantity of 0.8-1.0g of grease per pump
.
For reference to the required grease maintenance points on each of the respective shafts see below.
WARNING!
It is mandatory to switch the combustion engine off and disengage PTO and ensure that
the tractor and machine is stopped, the ignition key is removed from the dashboard and the parking
