Correct inclination angle at the center (2).
To correct the inclination angle, install shop-made spacers at the propeller shaft intermediate bearing. A 1 mm thick spacer changes the inclination angle by approx. 0.17°.
When using spacers > 2 mm thick, the bolt length has to be increased by 5 mm.
If a spacer > 5 mm thick is required, check the front engine mount and rear engine mount for signs of settling or wear and replace if necessary.
1 | Mark the propeller shaft intermediate bearing. |
Apply color markings identifying the position of the propeller shaft intermediate bearing relative to the frame floor assembly, in order to reproduce the plant installation position when installing. |
2 | Remove bolt (7a) from propeller shaft intermediate bearing. |
3 | Insert shop-made spacers between the frame floor assembly and propeller shaft intermediate bearing. |
The dimensions for the spacers must be taken at the propeller shaft intermediate bearing, see following picture. |
4 | Tighten screws/bolts (7a) from propeller shaft intermediate bearing . |
