Annual disassembly,cleaning and lubrication is recommended to insure that all components function as intended.Ensure that the universal joints are lubricated, inspect and lubricate every 8 hours.When reassembling the driveline, ensure that the driveline is assembled "in phase", to avoid unnecessaryvibration when the machine is running.7�2�2 SHEAR PIN:The PTO drive line is designed with a shear pin at the input yoke to prevent overloading the drive system.Remove the broken parts from the yoke when the pin shears and replace with genuine Wallenstein parts.The drive system is designed to function well without failing the shear pin. If it does fail, generally it isbeing fed too fast or something very hard has been jammed into the rotor or between the blades. Alwaysunplug the system and determine the cause of the problem and correct it before resuming work.
