PTO Use and Maintenance
Shut OFF the tractor engine and remove the key before doing any maintenance on the machine.
Use ONLY genuine Weasler parts when replacing any worn or damaged PTO components.
Length:
Confirm the minimum and maximum working lengths of the drive-line.
The telescoping tubes must overlap at least 1/3 of their length when in
use. The PTO is designed to be used with a drawbar length of 16" from
the end of the PTO shaft. Adjust your tractor accordingly.
Shielding:
Be sure that the shielding is not damaged and rotates
freely on the drive shaft.
Working Angles:
Constant Velocity joints can operate up to 80 degrees for short
periods of time. Do not operate for long periods on sharp angles.
Attachment:
Be sure the drive-line is properly attached and all bolts and screws are
tight on the implement input shaft and on the tractor PTO shaft.
Storage:
When not in use, cover or protect the drive shaft from the weather.
When removed from the machine store both halves together to prevent damage. Check all
components for proper function and lubrication before use.
