PTO SHAFT MAINTENANCE
PTO Shaft Lubrication
The PTO shaft should be lubricated on a regular basis using lithium based grease – each
end of the shaft has 2 greasing points; one for lubrication of the universal joint and one for
lubricating the rotating fixing ring of the shaft shield – access to the lubrication points is
gained by releasing the shaft shield from its fixing ring and sliding it back along the body
of the driveshaft as shown below.
Slide the shaft shield back into place after lubrication ensuring the clasps relocate correctly
in the fixing ring – always fit torque chains to the shields to stop them from rotating with
the shaft during operation.
