| rotate it until you feel the inner |
| mainshaft (driveshaft) splines engage |
| the gearcase. Then push the outer |
| tube all the way in. See Figure 14. |
2. | Rotate the gearcase assembly so that |
| the index screw aligns with hole in the |
| outer tube. |

6. Slide the recessed end of a sweeper |
drum assembly over the installed axle, |
and then push the drum down the axle |
until the cotter pin hole in the axle |
extends above the drum surface. |
CAUTION!
The two drum assemblies are identical, but each drum must be installed with its recessed end facing toward the gearcase.
7.Use a cotter pin to secure the drum assembly on the axle (see inset). The cotter pin is designed to fit tightly against the outboard end of the drum, so you may need to compress the drum face slightly during installation. Spread the ends of the cotter pin to secure.
8.Repeat Steps
The PB2500 PowerBroom should now be completely assembled.
