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.
