Assembly Tips

1.Before assembling something with a new bushing, wipe the bushing with a clean shop towel. This should remove any debris that might have gotten into the bushing during shipping and storage (Figure 97).

2.Add a drop or two of 30 weight engine oil before assembly. This will ensure good lubrication upon start up.

3.It is important to minimize oil in this area. Too much oil will be thrown about when running. Oil on the drive plate or friction wheel will result in drive slippage.

4.Wipe the drive plate and friction wheel with alcohol to make sure they are clean, to prevent slippage.

5.Do not use general-purpose grease to lubricate drive components. In cold temperatures, it will stiffen and can prevent shifting.

Assembly Steps

1.Assemble the hub to the front frame using 4 screws.

2.Install the snap ring onto the pulley and shaft. Assure the sharp edge of the snap ring faces towards the pulley (Figure 98).

3.Install the pulley in the hub and install the drive plate (left hand thread). Tighten firmly.

4.Install the front frame into the chassis using two shoulder bolts. Tighten firmly (Figure 99).
