Maximum constant velocity driveline turning angle is limited
to 80 degrees Exceeding this angle can cause the driveline to
break and send flying objects.
Refer to Figure 1-7:
Constant velocity driveline can be installed on RCR2510
and RCRM2510 cutters only. Maximum turning angle is
limited to 80 degrees.
