for the PTO/Clutch. Read the PTO/Clutch

owner’s manual before performing any

service to your PTO/Clutch. NEVER

EXCESS OF 1200 RPM. Always disengage

the clutch before performing any type of

service. Follow the Twin Disc Inc. PTO

Service Manual for servicing the

 All machine parts have had sufficient time to cool down

 The cutter drum lock pin is installed in the drum lock tube

More accidents occur while performing maintenance than any other time! Use extra

caution.

Never perform maintenance with the engine running, not even with the clutch disengaged.

The pilot bearing could seize or freeze to the clutch shaft and permit the clutch to engage

even though the operator thought the clutch had been disengaged.

ALWAYS REPLACE GUARDS AND OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT BEFORE
