ASSEMBLY
DRIVESHAFT & FRONT PUMP MOUNTING
Thread the pump drive shaft into the crankshaft adapter.
Slide splined drive shaft coupler onto the pump drive shaft. Install the pump onto the mounting bracket. NOTE: the pump is offset to one direction, the pump should be installed with the offset side on top. Install hardware for securing pump to the pump mount, DO NOT tighten.
Install pump and align so that splined coupling can be moved (FREE PLAY) back and forth by hand. Rotate coupler and check free play every 1/4 turn. Tighten pump mounting bolts in succession rechecking for spline coupling free play. Remove the pump mounting bracket bolts one at a time and apply a thread locking agent. Tighten these bolts in succession, again checking for free play in the drive shaft. After all bolts are torqued, the end play on the drive shaft should be 1/16” to 1/8”, and coupler should move freely with hand pressure. If end play is less than 1/16”, grind the end of the shaft to achieve the proper end play. If there is more than 1/4” of end play, return the shaft with specifications for a longer shaft.
