• Use the appropriate tools and instruments such as torque wrenches, gauges, and thickness gauges.
• Use only gaskets supplied by the manufacturer. Use paste gasket only if recommended.
• Mastic is forbidden if used together with paper gaskets.
• It is advisable to use medium thread locking fluid for locking bolts and studs.
• Perform all installation operations with the vehicle standing on a level surface; otherwise, oil levels cannot be checked.
• Operate with engine and gearbox at ambient temperature.
• Check that the PTO is equipped with the correct mounting kit.
For some aluminum gearboxes, the tightening torque needs to be reduced by 30%. Note on the tightening torque: the tightening torques reported are only meant as a guide and do not replace the indications given by the vehicle’s manufacturer or the gearbox manufacturer.
• Carefully read the user manual provided and take notice of the instructions indicated.
• The important sections for operator safety and a prolonged product life are marked with symbols. Take notice of such symbols.
• Never work alone when doing repair or maintenance work under the vehicle.
• Make sure to check if the instructions you follow and the tools you use are intended for the work you are engaging in.
• Never use worn or damaged parts.
• Do not attempt any modification on the PTO or any other drive components of the vehicle.
• Ensure to mount the parts properly.
• Check backlash when the engine is stopped.
• Do not go under the truck when the engine is running.
The disengaged PTO might transmit high levels of instant torque in cold weather (0°C and below), leading to rotation on the output shaft. This motion might result in injuries or damage to the PTO.
For prevention of injuries and damage to the equipment:
• Check the drive components of the vehicle.
• Do not attempt to use drive components without warming up the vehicle.
