Installation Guide

Follow these steps for a flawless installation:

1. Preparation: Clean the mounting area and remove any debris or old fasteners.
2. Positioning: Align the mounting with the pre-drilled holes on the chassis.
3. Fastening: Secure with the supplied bolts, tightening to the specified torque (typically 80 Nm).
4. Bushing Installation: Insert the rubber bushings into the mounting cavities to provide vibration isolation.
5. Final Check: Verify that the mounting is level and firmly attached before reassembling the transmission.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the mounting and bushings annually for wear or damage.
• Replace rubber bushings if they become cracked, brittle, or lose elasticity.
• Ensure all fasteners remain tight; looseness can lead to misalignment and premature gearbox failure.
• Apply a light coat of anti-corrosion spray to the mounting surface if operating in salt‑prone or humid climates.
