Precautions for Drive Shaft

INFOID:0000000007542429

• Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.
• Never disassemble joint sub-assembly because it is non-overhaul parts.
• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
• Clean the parts, before disassembling and assembling.
• Prevent the entry of foreign objects during disassembly of the service location.
• Reassemble disassembled parts carefully in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean cover must be

placed over parts.

• Use paper waste. Do not use fabric shop cloths because of the danger of lint adhering to parts.
• Clean disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) with kerosene which shall be removed by blowing with

air or wiping with paper waste.
