Transaxle Installation
See IMPORTANT installation information at right. Install
the brake and inching lines, as applicable.
1.
Be sure the converter pilot shaft spacer is
installed.
Check the blocking supporting the truck chassis and
engine. Be sure it is secure. Keep your feet and body
clear at all times. Failure to properly block forklift could
result in injury or death.
NOTE
Align the mating holes for attaching
the converter to the flywheel as close
as
possible
before
starting
the
installation. If the four holes in each
unit are aligned, e.g. with the
horizontal and vertical axis, they will
be close to alignment when the units
are assembled.
2.
Make sure the truck chassis and engine are
safely blocked up and the area for installing the transaxle
is cleared of wiring, hoses or other obstructions. The
blocking underneath the frame sides should be 12 to 14
inches high.
3.
Use a lift truck, portable floor jack or similar
means of adequate capacity to support the transaxle
assembly. If a fork truck is used, carefully put the forks
under the transmission case making sure it is secure and
stable on the forks. If a floor jack is used, make sure the
transaxle assembly is securely supported on the lifting
surface.
NOTE
Note
the
following
items
with
installing the drive axle-to frame
mounting bolts:
Make sure all dirt, paint, rust, grease
and
oil
are
removed
from
all
mounting
surfaces
before
installation. Make sure the bolts,
nuts, and threads in the brackets and
axle
are
clean
and
dry
before
installation
and
applying
torque.
Mounting bolts, nuts and threaded
holes are to be unlubricated. Impact
wrenches are to be used only to snug
up fasteners. Torque wrench must
be used to obtain final torque values.
4.
Carefully raise the transaxle assembly and move
it into the frame from the front of the truck. Be
sure all items within the mounting area are clear
and will not be hit or damaged as the transaxle
assembly is moved into position.
5.
Continue moving the transaxle into position.
Carefully align the transaxle with the rear plate or
flywheel housing of the engine. Guide the pilot
shaft of the torque converter into the pilot bore
on the engine flywheel. It may be necessary to
move the transaxle up or down or to tilt it as it is
moved into assembly with the engine.
