5.5 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 any damaged, worn,
cracked, seized or otherwise improper parts that could
affect the safe and proper functioning of the machine,
axles and drive shafts.
