Powerhead Installation On Driveshaft Housing
1. Install Lifting Eye (91-90455) into flywheel.
WARNING
BE SURE that Lifting Eye is threaded into flywheel a minimum of five (5) turns BE-
FORE lifting powerhead.
2. Using a hoist, lift powerhead high enough to allow removal of powerhead from repair
stand. Remove powerhead from repair stand, being careful not to damage drive shaft
housing gasket surface of powerhead.
3. Place a new gasket around powerhead studs and into position on base of powerhead.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT apply lubricant to top of driveshaft as this will prevent drive-
