DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Before starting assembly, make certain that all paint, dirt, and grease are removed from gearbox shaft (1). To
ease assembly apply a light coat of grease to splines and assemble. Do not assemble a driveline without a
shield. Entanglement in rotating shafts can kill. Figure Asm-R-0090
Attach slip clutch end of the driveline to the gearbox
input shaft securely. Make certain that the slip
clutch is fully onto the input shaft splines. Tighten
the locknuts (2) alternately until they have reached
the proper torque. Refer to Torque Chart in the
Maintenance Section.
