IMPORTANT INFORMATION

BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS

EASB111024
Install bearings "1" and oil seals "2" with their
manufacturer's marks or size symbols facing
outward. During installation of an oil seal, make
sure that its main lip faces the oil chamber (the
target to be sealed). Before installation, always
apply a light coat of grease to the oil seal lip.

NOTICE
Do not spin the bearing with compressed air
because this will damage the bearing sur-
faces.

CIRCLIPS

EASB111025
When assembling parts, always use new cir-
clips. During installation of a circlip, make sure
that the edge "2" of the circlip "1" is positioned
opposite to the force "3" that the circlip re-
ceives. Install the circlip with its end aligned
with the center of the spline, without opening
the circlip more than necessary.
