1.

Insert the end of the outer tube into

 

the gearcase and push until it bottoms.

 

The outer tube should go into the

 

gearcase about 1-1/2 in. (38 mm). If

 

the outer tube stops before bottoming,

 

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.

3.

Use a 4 mm hex wrench to tighten the

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 4-7 to install the remain- ing axle and drum assembly.

The PB2500 PowerBroom should now be completely assembled.
