Driveline Safety & Maintenance
•
Keep driveline shield in place –
do not remove. Never operate your snow blower when driveline shields are damaged or missing. These shields have
been installed for your safety. Personal injury or even death can result from entanglement in rotating components.
•
Do not operate your snow blower with a driveline that is too long or with a dented shield. This will not allow the shaft to telescope freely. Operating
under these conditions can cause damage to the snow blower, gear box, driveline knuckles, or your tractor.
•
Keep the driveline well greased or oiled. (Oil should be used in severe cold)
•
Make sure the third arm on the tractor 3
-
point will have the snow blower sitting level and resting on the skid shoes. This will keep the knuckles on the
driveline running as straight as possible.
•
Raising and lowering the snow blower while the PTO is engaged can cause severe damage to the driveline and the tractor.
•
This driveline is designed to operate at 540 rpm only.
•
Operating the driveline at an excessive angle will shorten the life of the driveline.
•
Personal injury or even death can result from entanglement with drivelines. Stay clear of driveline at all times while PTO is engaged.
•
If your driveline is making a chattering noise you may be running at too steep of an angle. You may need to move the mounting out to lessen the angle.
•
Drivelines must always have at least
5”
of overlap.
•
Grease before operating your snow blower.
