hard, level surface.
2. Install the 1/4” SQ. X 1-1/4” key in the key slot of the
gear box shaft.
3. Orient the telescoping drive shaft so that end with
the drive shaft collar is away from the gear box shaft.
Install the telescoping driveshaft to the gear box
shaft. The gear box shaft should be 1/16” from being
flush with the back end of the universal joint of the
telescoping drive shaft.
4. Secure the telescoping drive shaft using the 3/8-16
X 1-3/4” bolt and 3/8-16 hex nylon lock nut that is
included with the unit. Also, tighten the 3/8-16 X 3/8 set
screw

) from the
rear holes of the attachment latches (
