SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
By following a careful service and maintenance program for your machine, you will enjoy many
years or trouble-free operation.
DRIVELINE MAINTENANCE
The PTO driveline is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes
through its operational range. A tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to
turn relative to the driving components. The driveline should telescope easily and the guard turn
freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disassembly, cleaning and lubrication is recommended to
insure that all components function as intended. To maintain the driveline, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the driveline from the machine.
2. Pull driveline apart.
3. Use a screwdriver to turn lock studs on each end. There are 2 studs per guard..
4. Pull the shaft out of the plastic tubular guard.
5. Use a solvent to clean the male and female portions of the telescoping ends.
6. Apply a light coat of grease to each end.
7. Use a solvent to wash the grooves on each end where the studs are located. Clean each end
also.
8. Apply a light coat of grease to each groove.
9. Insert the shaft into its respective guard and align the studs with the holes.
10. Insert the studs through the holes and seat in the groove.
11. Turn each stud to secure guard to shaft.
12. Check that each guard turns freely on the shaft.
13. Assemble the driveline.
14. Check that the driveline telescopes easily.
15. Replace any components that are damaged or worn.
16. Install the driveline on the machine.
