PTO SHAFT MAINTENANCE
The PTO shaft is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its
operating range. A tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn relative to the
driving components. The shaft should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times.
Annual disassembly, cleaning and lubrication is recommended to ensure that all components function as
intended.
To maintain the shaft, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the shaft from the machine.
2. Pull shaft apart.
3. Use a screwdriver to pry the tabs out of the sleeves on each end.
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. Clean the grooves on each end where the tabs are located.
8. Apply a light coat of grease to each groove.
9. Insert the shaft into its respective guard and align the slots with the groove.
