10.3 DRIVELINE ISSUES
Drive Line and Flange Bolts
Ensure that:
 All bolts are tight. Use a torque wrench to torque bolts to the drive train manufac-
turer's recommended specifications.
 Bolts used are “Grade 8” strength.
CAUTION!
ALL FASTENERS ON THE HALE PUMP AND GEARBOX ASSEMBLY HAVE BEEN
SELECTED FOR THEIR APPLICATION. HALE DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPLACING
FASTENERS WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN HALE PART NUMBERS PROVIDED.
REPLACING WITH A WEAKER ALTERNATIVE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK.
ALL FASTENERS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH A LOCKING ANAEROBIC ADHESIVE/
SEALANT, SUCH AS LOCTITE® #246 FOR GEARBOX AND #242 FOR PUMP.
Wherever there is a requirement for new parts, it is recommended to use only Hale
authorized replacement parts for optimum safety of the equipment and its operators
and to reduce unnecessary “downtime.”
Issues
It is critical to use computer driveline analysis software, such as Dana’s “The Expert,”
during driveline layout. Dana’s software is available free on the World Wide Web at:

When performing calculations, strive to achieve the lowest driveline torsional and iner-
tial vibrations, making sure to avoid severe driveline angles. Be conservative and
always err on the side of SAFETY. Always measure the drive shaft after construction
to make sure it matches the computer design.
Remember the following points while designing a driveline:
 Problems can occur with or without noticeable vibration.
 Do not use a bubble protractor to measure driveline angles. Use a digital inclinom-
eter. Remember to zero the inclinometer on the truck frame, not the ground.
 Center the sliders.
