Special Notes Regarding Auxiliary Driveshafts
WARNING: Working on or near an auxiliary driveshaft when the engine is running is extremely dangerous and should be avoided.
You can snag clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can cause serious injury or death.
•
Shut off engine before working on power take-off or driven equipment.
•
Do not go under the vehicle when the engine is running.
•
Do not engage or disengage driven equipment by hand from under the vehicle when the engine is running.
•
Fasteners should be properly selected and torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications.
•
If a setscrew protrudes above the hub of an end yoke, you may want to replace it with a recessed (Allen-type) setscrew.
•
If you decide that a recessed setscrew does not have enough holding power for your application and you must use a
protruding setscrew, be sure no one can come in contact with the rotating driveshaft or the protruding setscrew.
•
Exposed rotating driveshafts must be guarded!
•
Lubricate auxiliary driveshafts according to manufacturer’s specifications.
