My manual for my snowblower says not to operate the blower with the PTO shaft at more then 15 degrees as it could damage something or cause shear bolts to break. I have not measured the angle with my blower raised all the way, guess I need to do that.
I can see where that would cause problems with the driveline U-joints but I'm not sure I see how it would cause shear bolts to break. Maybe it depends on how the driveline shear bolt is setup.
