SOLIS 90 - Safety While Operating Loader Attachments

26
As far as possible, angles (a) and (b) at the universal
joints should be the same at both ends of the
Telescoping driveline.
In applications where this is not the case (e.g. sharp
turns with PTO engaged), it is recommended to use a
continuous-velocity drive shaft.
NOTE: The two schematic drawings do not show any
guards on the telescoping driveline. A guard is
mandatory when using telescoping drivelines.
IMPORTANT: Only operating conditions described in
the Operator's Manuals of the various implements are
permitted. This applies particularly to maximum
permissible angle of articulation, to the use of
freewheel clutches and overload clutches, and to the
prescribed amount of overlap when shaped pipes are
pushed together.
IMPORTANT: Before using a PTO-driven implement,
take action to ensure that the telescoping driveline is
lubricated regularly. Comply with instructions in the
Operator's Manual provided by the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: On multi-component telescoping
drivelines, the yokes at each end must be aligned as
shown.
The yokes at each end must NOT be at 90° to one
another (see arrows in illustration on the right).
