Transaxle Installation

TRANSAXLE INSTALLATION
See General Warnings on page 1-1.
1. If using a chain hoist, raise the vehicle and place transaxle in position on the jack stands. If using a floor jack,
lower the jack stands to their lowest settings and place the transaxle in position on the jack stands.
2. Align the center hole in the saddle of the transaxle with the pilot bolt in the leaf spring assembly.
3. Install the two U-bolts, jounce bumper mount (if required), and spacers, lockwashers, and nuts. Tighten the nuts
to 25 ft·lb (34 N·m). Tighten the U-bolt nuts so an equal amount of thread is visible on each leg of the bolt.
4. Install the motor. See Motor Installation on page 16-15.
5. If using a chain hoist, lower the vehicle while guiding the leaf springs into the rear spring shackles. If using a
floor jack, raise the differential while guiding the leaf springs into the rear spring shackles. Then raise the jack
stands to support the transaxle.
6. Connect the four motor wires. Tighten the retaining nuts to 65 in·lb (7.3 N·m). Use two wrenches to prevent the
posts from turning. See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the motor wires were not tagged when disconnected, refer to the wiring diagram for proper connection. See
Wiring Diagrams, Section 12, Page 12-4.
7. Insert bolts through the spring shackles and bushings in the leaf spring eyes. Secure bolts with locknuts.
Tighten to 15 ft·lb (20.3 N·m).
8. Connect the brake cables using new bow tie pins (1) (Figure 17-7, Page 17-5).
9. Install the shock absorbers. Tighten shock absorber retaining nuts until the rubber bushings expand to the
same size as the cup washers.
10. Install the rear wheels and finger-tighten the lug nuts.
11. Lift the vehicle and remove the jack stands.
12. Lower vehicle and tighten the lug nuts using a crisscross pattern. See Wheel Installation, Section 8, Page 8-1.
13. Connect the batteries. See Connecting the Batteries – Electric Vehicles, Section 1, Page 1-4.
14. Inspect the vehicle to check for proper operation. See following WARNING.
WARNING

in the FORWARD position.
• Make sure that the vehicle operates in the reverse direction when the Forward/Reverse switch is in the
REVERSE position. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse switch
is in REVERSE.
• Make sure that the vehicle does not operate when the Forward/Reverse switch is in the NEUTRAL
position.
