Rear Disconnect Annual Maintenance
Before using the cart for the season:
1. Exercise the disconnect handle, adding a lubricant to the 2” output shaft on the first gearbox where the grooved spline coupler slides.
Loctite Silver Grade Anti-Seize is recommended.
2. Check the face of the disconnect paddle for excessive wear (1/32” or more). In the event of excessive wear (1/32” or more), contact
the J&M Service Department.
Removing Dirt From The Restrictors On The Hydraulic Cylinder
Disengage Paddle, and Back Plate Settings
The back plate has a tab welded on the inside with a nut. A bolt and jam nut are screwed into it. The proper bolt setting maintains the
gap shown in the bottom right picture. The paddle is shown in purple here, and when the drivedogs are engaged there should be a
1/16” gap between the paddle and the drivedog. Having the gap will ensure that there is no unneccessary wear on parts.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF AND THE UPPER AUGER TUBE IS IN THE DOWN POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE
RESTRICTORS
Remove restrictors from the 90 degree street elbow on the tip spout hydraulic cylinder. Remove dirt from the fitting to allow hydraulic oil to
flow through the restrictor. Reattach the restrictor to the street elbow. Use Teflon sealant tape or equivalent on the threads of the restrictor
before re-attaching.
If the restrictor continues to plug with dirt, replace the restrictor or filter the hydraulic oil in your system.
