GENERAL INFORMATION

Note: To help ensure optimum performance, the drive
shaft assemblies are specially balanced as a unit at the
factory. When servicing any flange yoke, slip yoke or
drive shaft tube, order a complete assembly if
components are bent or damaged. Refer to the
appropriate parts manual for ordering information.

Before performing any inspection, maintenance or
service operation, thoroughly clean the unit. The axles
and drive shafts should be checked and repaired only by
experienced service technicians who are aware of all
safety instructions and particular component features.

Use suitable products to thoroughly clean all
disassembled mechanical parts to help prevent personal
injury to the worker and prevent damage to the parts.
Carefully inspect the integrity of all moving parts
(bearings, yokes, tubes, gears, shafts, etc.) and fasteners
(nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) as they are subject to major
stress and wear. Always replace elastic locknuts and any
damaged, worn, cracked, seized or otherwise improper
parts that could affect the safe and proper functioning of
the machine, axles and drive shafts.

AXLE ASSEMBLIES

5.3.1

Axle Serial Number Plate

The front and rear axle serial number plate is located on
a mounting pad on the front side of the center section of
each axle. Information on the serial number plate is

Axle Maintenance

CLEANING: Clean parts with machined or ground
surfaces (such as gears, bearings and shafts) with
emulsion cleaners or petroleum-based cleaners. DO
NOT
steam clean internal components and the interior of
the planetary hub and axle housing. Water can cause
corrosion of critical parts. Rust contamination in the
lubricant can cause gear and bearing failure. Remove old
gasket material from all surfaces.

DRYING: Use clean, lintless towels to dry components
after cleaning. DO NOT dry bearings by spinning them
with compressed air; this can damage mating surfaces
due to lack of lubrication. After drying, lightly coat
components with oil or a rust-preventive chemical to help
protect them from corrosion. If storing components for a
prolonged period, wrap them in wax paper.

WARNING

DO NOT service the machine without following all
safety precautions as outlined in Section 1, “Safety
Practices,” o
f this manual.
