PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Propeller ShaftNDS00001

If propeller shaft is dropped, replace propeller shaft with new one.

Do not hit, impact, or damage tube.

If damage such as cracks or peeling off in sealing (joint between
yoke and tube) is found, replace propeller shaft with new one.

If there is chipping or bend in tube, replace propeller shaft with
new one.

Check that the clearance is between tube and yoke flange. If
there is no clearance, replace propeller shaft.

Protect propeller shaft with protector (special service tool) during
work.

When Installing Reused Propeller Shaft
CAUTION:
When installing propeller shaft, handle it carefully.
1. With protector (special service tool) attached, align matching marks to install propeller shaft to final drive
companion flange, and then tighten to specified torque. Refer to PR-6, "
Components" .
2. Remove protector (special service tool) from propeller shaft.
3. Return exhaust system to its original position. For tightening torque, EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
4. After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft vibration. If vibration occurred, separate
propeller shaft from final drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 90, 180, 270 degrees. Then
perform driving test and check propeller shaft vibration again at each point.
