General Information
IMPORTANT: To help ensure optimum performance, the drive shaft assemblies
are specially balanced as a unit at the factory. When servicing any flange yoke,
slip yoke or drive shaft tube, order a complete assembly if components are bent or
damaged. Refer to the appropriate parts manual for ordering information.
Before performing any inspection, maintenance or service operation,
thoroughly clean the unit. The axles and drive shafts should be checked
and repaired only by experienced service technicians who are aware of all
safety instructions and particular component features.
