Series 10:
-
Urban: 10,000 km or 2 months.
-
Road: 20,000 km or 4 months.
-
Agricultural and Construction: 5,000 km or 1 month.
-
Industrial: 300 hours under normal use or 150 hours under severe use.
-
If the cardan shaft is immersed in water or mud (when facing floods, crossing streams, working in rice fields, among other similar situations), re-lubricate it.

The biggest cause of problems in crosspieces and sliding joints is the application of incorrect greases.
-
Grease needs to combine three properties:
-
1 - Be lithium soap based.
-
2 - Contain extreme pressure (EP) additives.
-
3 - Have NLGI consistency grade 2.
-
Don't try to save money by using another type of grease. The damage to the driveshaft will be much greater.

-
Before starting lubrication, you must:
-
1 - Clean and assess the condition of the grease fittings on each crosshead.
-
2 - Check that the grease machine does not have any remains of old grease or other type of grease.
-
3 - In pneumatic systems, check that the air is not contaminated with water or oil.

With everything in order, lubricating a Spicer 5-263XS platter is a breeze. But one thing to be careful about is essential: apply new grease until the old grease completely comes out of the four crosshead covers. See the video below for detailed step-by-step instructions.
-
Continue applying until the new grease comes out of the layers continuously, without gaps or air bubbles.
-
If everything goes well, clean the crosshead and the job is done.
-
-
-
If any of the covers do not purge the old grease, you need to troubleshoot the problem:
-
First, hit the cover with a polyurethane hammer and try to lubricate it.
-
If that doesn't work, loosen the fixing tabs and dismantle the crosspiece in the press.
-
Check that the part's internal lubrication channels are not clogged.
-
Reassemble the crosshead and, using a torque wrench, tighten the tabs with a torque of 40 Nm. Redo the lubrication procedure.
-
If the cover still does not purge, the only solution is to change the crosspiece.
