remove coupling hail.
• Slide new engine coupling
half onto the engine
shaft until the end of the shaft is flush with the inner
portion of the coupling half. (There must be space
between end of engine support bracket and cou-
pling half.) Tighten set screw.
• Install pump coupling half and key on pump shaft.
Rotate coupling half until set screw faces down. Do
not tighten set screw.
• Install nylon "spider" onto engine coupling half.
• Align pump coupling
half with nylon "spider"
by
