Installing Shaft Assembly and Gearcase
Attach the shaft assembly to the pruner gearcase assembly.
Note: Carefully inspect both side of the shaft assembly. The
arrow marking side of the shaft assembly positions to
the power unit. The no marking side of the shaft
assembly connects to the gearcase assembly.
Insert the shaft assembly into the gearcase assembly
while rotating the driveshaft to engage the splines.
Align the locating hole and install the locating screw
through the side of the gearcase. Then tighten the
clamping screw. If properly installed, rotating the end
of the driveshaft will cause the chain to move.
