WARNING
A propeller shaft may fall down and injure you when
being removed. Secure the propeller shaft prior to
removal to prevent it from falling, e.g. with the aid of a
second person or by tying up the propeller shaft.
Ë
Remove the propeller shafts completely if possible. If
this is not possible, affix a notice in the cab to prevent
anyone from starting the engine.
Ë
The propeller shaft should not be pulled apart when
it is being removed. However, if it is necessary to pull
the propeller shaft apart, the installation position must
be marked on the sliding piece beforehand. If this is
not done, there may be imbalance in the propeller
shaft when it is reinstalled.
Ë
Make sure that the transmission or the transfer
case does not turn when driving, otherwise the
transmission or the transfer case could be damaged.
