Shorten inner guard tube as marked, shorten outer guard tube 40 mm shorter as
inner guard tube. Shorten inner and outer profile tubes by the same length as the
inner guard tube (Fig. 8b). Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs (Fig. 8c).
profile tube over it's full
Remove all debris. Grease the outside of the inner
length (Fig. 8d).
9. Assembly of the safety guard
Grease the yoke bearing groove fully around (Fig. 9a). Place the bearing in the
groove of the yoke (Fig. 9b). Slip on the guard half (Fig. 9c). Turn the bearing in
the direction as indicated (Fig. 9d). Press the Easy Lock grease nipple into position
until it clicks and cannot be removed manually (Fig. 9e).
10. Maintenance
Before putting into operation, after any prolonged period of not using or after
seasonal storage, inspect the shaft carefully. Lubricate the PTO shaft as described in
#10.1. Inspect the whole safety guard of the shaft, as well as the PTO shield and the
PIC shield. If the guard of the PTO drive shaft does not rotate free from the shaft,
has missing parts, is damaged, or the safety signs are missing or illegible, the parts
must be repaired or replaced. Replacing or repairing has to be done by your dealer.
Make sure the PTO drive shaft is stored in a manner which will not damage the
guard of the PTO drive shaft.
Store your equipment inside and do not allow the PTO drive shaft to rest on the
ground. Rust and mud may interfere with the shaft's locking devices and other parts
of the PTO drive shaft.
10.1. Lubrication
Lubricate the PTO drive shaft with high quality multi-purpose grease, meeting the
N.L.G.I 2-Class (max 1% Molybdenum Disulfide). Follow recommendations as
indicated in Fig. 10 (unless otherwise specified on the guard or in the machines user
manual). If access holes are available, lubricate fittings through access holes.
P-kits have blue seals; E-kits have orange seals.
E-lube = Extended Lube version CV.
Replacement parts must be lubricated at the time of assembly and during use per the
lube recommendations.
11. SAFETY CLUTCHES & WIDE-ANGLE CV JOINTS
Star Ratchet clutches (Fig. 11a)
When overload occurs, the torque is limited and during the period of slipping the
torque is transmitted in a pulsating manner. Noise acts as a warning. The operating
speed of the shaft with this clutch should not exceed 700 rpm. Higher speeds will
damage the clutch. Lubricate the clutch every 50 shaft operating hours (25g).
