MAINTENANCE

SHEAR PIN YOKE LUBRICATION

Yoke is supplied with a grease fitting to lube betweeen gearbox shaft and yoke. This allows yoke to spin freely on gearbox shaft when pin shears. Failure to lube may cause yoke to gall and spin weld to shaft. Small amount of grease added every 5 (approx.) shear pins will greatly prolong life of yoke.

When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locking balls are seated in groove on PTO shaft. A loose shaft could slip off and result in personal injury or damage to cutter.

BLADE SERVICING

Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.
