WARNING
Always wear proper eye protection when removing re-
taining rings. Use the correct retaining ring pliers. Verify
that the tips of the pliers are not damaged or excessively
worn. Slippage could propel the ring with enough force
to cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION
During assembly, the split bearings and the internal
bores of the gears must be lubricated with SPORT-
TRANS FLUID prior to assembly. Leaving these parts dry
could accelerate wear at start-up.
