10.2.3 Hydraulic Motor Coupling

Changing the pump coupling does not require the
hydraulic tank to be drained. If the pump must
be disconnected, drain the hydraulic tank and be
prepared to catch any oil that remains in the two
hydraulic hoses.
1. Remove the orange protective cover from the
adapter assembly.
2. Remove the two pump mounting bolts.
3. Pull the pump away from the adapter to
separate the coupling halves.
4. Loosen the setscrews in each coupling half
and remove the old couplings.

5. Install new couplings on the engine shaft and
the pump shaft. When completely assembled,
the shaft length in each coupling half should
be the same. Tighten the pump end setscrews
to 78 to 87 lb-in. Do not tighten the engine
shaft coupling at this time.
6. Place the urethane spider in the pump
coupling. Align and install the pump and pump
coupling.
7. Tighten the pump bolts to a "Grade 5" bolt
toque for that size of bolt. Refer to the 4.2 Bolt
Specifications section.
8. Slide the engine coupling against the other
coupling half and tighten the setscrew.
9. Replace the orange protective cover.
NOTE: If the adapter plate was removed, tighten
the four retaining bolts to "Grade 5" bolt torque for
that size of bolt.
