7.2.2 DRIVELINE MAINTENANCE
The PTO driveline is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes
through its operational range. A tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn
relative to the driving components. The driveline should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the
shaft at all times. Annual disassembly, cleaning and lubrication is recommended to insure that all compo-
nents function as intended. To maintain the driveline, follow this procedure:
