• Always use proper components in applications for which they are approved.
• Be sure to assemble components properly.
• Never use worn-out or damaged components.

rotatInG auxIlIary DrIveShaftS
• Rotating auxiliary driveshafts are dangerous. You can snag clothes, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can cause
serious injury or death.
•
Do not go under the vehicle when the engine is running.
• Do not work on or near an exposed shaft when the engine is running.
•
Shut off engine before working on power take-off or driven equipment.
• Exposed rotating driveshafts must be guarded.
WarnInG: uSInG Set ScreWS
Auxiliary driveshafts may be installed with either recessed or protruding set screws. If you choose a square head
set screw, you should be aware that it will protrude above the hub of the yoke and may be a point where clothes,
skin, hair, hands, etc. could be snagged. A socket head set screw, which may not protrude above the hub of the
yoke, does not permit the same amount of torquing as does a square head set screw. Also, a square head set
screw, if used with a lock wire, will prevent loosening of the screw caused by vibration. Regardless of the choice
made with respect to a set screw, an exposed rotating auxiliary driveshaft must be guarded.
WarnInG: GuarDInG auxIlIary DrIveShaftS
We strongly recommend that a power take-off and a directly mounted pump be used to eliminate the auxiliary
driveshaft whenever possible. If an auxiliary driveshaft is used and remains exposed after installation, it is the
responsibility of the vehicle designer and P.T.O. installer to install a guard.
