PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Drive Shaft INFOID:0000000002978649

CAUTION:
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and servicing drive shafts.
• Joint sub-assembly does not disassemble because it is non-overhaul parts.
• Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
• Before disassembling and assembling, clean the outside of parts.
• Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be taken into account during disassembly of service
location.
• Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a
clean cover must be placed over parts.
• Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint
adhering to parts.
• Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be
removed by blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.
