Maintenance - Lack Of Maintenance Causes Guard Damage

• Failure to perform recommended PTO driveline guard maintenance.
• Failure to regularly inspect PTO driveline guards that do not turn freely on their support bearings. Repair as needed.
• Failure to regularly inspect for PTO driveline guard damage, that increases operator exposure to rotating members, and prevents easy telescoping of guard tubes. Repair as needed.
• Failure to inspect and replace safety warning decals that are no longer clear or legible.

Prevention
Check the owner’s manual for maintenance recommendations and repair instructions. As the equipment grows older be certain to perform suggested maintenance based on years or hours of usage. Whenever possible store implements in buildings where they are protected from damaging environmental conditions. Use genuine OEM replacement parts.
