shaft. (Fig. 24)
• The female annular ring is located around the accessory
input shaft. (Fig. 25)
The annular rings should be kept scrupulously clean, and
checked at every connection or disconnection.
If any dirt or debris is found it should be removed using a
slightly damp soft cloth.
All other mating surfaces between engine and accessory
should be kept as clean as possible.
The three (3) locating pins and two (2) stabilising pins are
positioned on the accessory.
These pins should also be kept scrupulously clean and free
from dirt or other contamination.

A very light spray coating of silicone machine oil occasionally
applied to their surface will aid accessory connection.
A cover for coupling protection is provided with each
accessory and should be used whenever the accessory is
'remote' from the engine. The engine is also supplied with a
coupling protection cover. This should be fitted whenever
an accessory is removed.
