Installation & Removal of Locking Assembly

Installation

Locking assembies are supplied ready for installation. However, if for some reason locking assemblies with odd number of screws were disassembled, make sure that in addition to lined-up slits in all collars, near -and far-side clamp collars are not reversed. They are assembled correctly only if there are no holes or threads behind taps in clamp collar item "1". Likewise, there must be no threads behind taps in center collar item "3" as illustrated in Figure 1.
