Installing propeller shafts
When connecting the propeller shaft halves, make sure that the markings (arrows) on the splined shaft and
the splined hub face each other.
Caution:
Incorrectly assembled propeller shafts will not compensate for irregular motions, but rather
increase it. This causes vibrations in the drivetrain. Furthermore, the joints and splined sections
may be damaged.
The propeller shafts are to be arranged so that the splined section is protected from dirt and moisture.
Usually what this mean is that they are to be installed as per the following drawings, where the profile seals
are pointed down so that any splash water can flow away from the splined section.
The propeller shafts must not be separated at the splined section and must not be swapped with each
other. Otherwise the balance of the shafts will be considerably affected. For this reason the balance
weights are also not to be removed.
