Hand lever Position
5. Throwout bearing failures may be, among other causes, the result of improper hand lever
position. See Hand Lever Adjustment for NACD Power Take-Offs in the installation section of
this manual.
Alignment
6. The flywheel and flywheel housing alignment should have been set within specifications
prior to installation of the power take-off and must be maintained for long service life of the
components.
Misalignment of driven components can result in power take-off failure. Periodically check for
bolts that may have loosened or driven components that have not been properly aligned during
servicing or maintenance procedures. See information regarding Alignment in the Installation
section of this manual.
Support Plate
7. When mounting the engine and Power Take-Off in the machine, a customer-supplied support
plate may be required to support the output end of the PTO housing. Proper installation and
alignment of the support plate must be maintained.
Periodically check to insure that the bolts securing the support plate are tightened to
specifications and that the support plate is properly reinstalled and realigned whenever work
is performed on the power take-off or power package module. See the information about
customer-supplied support plates and NACD Support Plate Specifications contained in the
Description and Specifications section of this manual.
Failure to follow maintain this requirement may result in damage to the power take off or the
engine flywheel housing.
