5.2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: To help ensure optimum performance, the drive shaft
assemblies are specially balanced as a unit at the factory. When
servicing any flange yoke, slip yoke or drive shaft tube, order a
complete assembly if components are bent or damaged. Refer
to the appropriate parts manual for ordering information.
Before performing any inspection, maintenance or service
operation, thoroughly clean the unit. The axles and drive
shafts should be checked and repaired only by experienced
service technicians who are aware of all safety instructions
and particular component features.
Use suitable products to thoroughly clean all disassembled
mechanical parts to help prevent personal injury to the
worker and prevent damage to the parts. Carefully inspect
the integrity of all moving parts (bearings, yokes, tubes,
gears, shafts, etc.) and fasteners (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) as
they are subject to major stress and wear. Always replace any
damaged, worn, cracked, seized or otherwise improper parts
that could affect the safe and proper functioning of the
machine, axles and drive shafts.
