• Place the two screws “A.” into the holes on the
engine as shown in the illustration. Make sure
screws are fully seated in the holes.
• Position the. nuts . “ I. ” in the lower holes.
• Tighten the screws with the hex wrench (pro­
vided) just enough to hold the hardware to­
gether while holding the locknuts with your
other hand.
• Remove the packing cover from the straight
end of the shaft housing if so equipped. Your
unit may not have a packing cover.
NOTE; Make sure the shaft inside the tube does
not fall out of the tube. Dirt on the shaft will sig­
nificantly reduce the life of the unit. If the drive
shaft falls out of the housing, clean, re-lubricate,
and
re-install. See “Drive Shaft Lubrication” in
the Customer Responsibilities section.
• Align the bottom groove on the tube with the
ridge on the lower wall of the engine opening.
• Turn the shaft to align the sguare end of the
shaft with the square hole inside the front
opening of the engine.
• Firmly push the tube into the en^ne opening
until the top groove is no longer visible.
• Tighten screws “A.” alternately with the hex .
wrench until secure.
