3.4. DRIVESHAFT
The installation procedure for the driveshaft and gearbox assembly on the EMD
auger depends on the size and length of the auger.
Because most of the driveshaft is pre-installed, consult Figure 3.6 before
proceeding with the assembly of your auger.
Since the length of the driveshaft determines the location of the gearbox, it is
very important that the length is correct for the corresponding auger.
