Yes.  Clean the drive, with particular attention to the clutch, and 
make sure the clutch is 100% FB.  Then disconnect the wires from the motor.

Many people think they have the self-discipline to keep their hands 
off the motor tuning knob, so they omit the second step.  Then they 
think, "What the hell, once won't matter, I'll be careful," and not 
long after that they have a mangled PTO.

Best regards,
