4. Install motor on transaxle.
4.1. Slide the motor coupling onto the transaxle input shaft.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
The coupling will push any excess grease on the input shaft along the shaft toward the transaxle.
When the motor is pushed onto the input shaft, the motor adapter ring (1) will not bottom out
against the transaxle housing
. There will be approximately 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) gap between the motor adapter ring and transaxle housing as shown
4.2. Loosely install four motor bolts and washers that secure the motor to the transaxle. Do not tighten.
4.3. Begin finger-tightening the bolts in the sequence indicated
. Con-
tinue tightening by hand until the motor is seated in the transaxle housing.
See following CAU-
TION and NOTE.

• Make sure the motor is properly seated in the transaxle housing.
NOTE:
Failure to install and tighten the motor mounting bolts in the proper sequence and to the proper
tightness may result in motor noise during operation.
4.4. Tighten the right bolt (1) to 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m).
4.5. Tighten the left bolt (2) to 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m).
4.6. Tighten the center bolt (3) to 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m)
4.7. Tighten the bolt (24) inserted through the tab to 155 in-lb (17.5 N·m)
.
4.8. Install the motor wires, making sure they are connected to the correct motor terminals and that the
terminal orientation is correct.
See Wiring Diagrams, Section 11, Page 11-2.
Tighten the terminal
retaining nuts to 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m).
4.9. Secure the white, orange, green, and blue wires with a wire tie so that none of the motor wires will
scrub the motor or transaxle when the vehicle is in operation.
4.10. Connect the three-pin speed sensor wire to the vehicle wire harness.
5. If using a chain hoist, lower the vehicle and guide the leaf springs into the shackles. If using a floor jack,
raise the transaxle until the leaf springs can be guided into the shackles.
