Check of build-in angle

Using 2 rulers, check whether the lines intersect about halfway between
the 2 halves of the coupling; if they do, the angles are roughly equal!
4.6

Finishing

• Position the homokinetic coupling between the thrust bearing and the
adapter flange.
• Degrease the bolts and the screwholes.
• Fit the bolts using a screwthread-locking agent and tighten them to the given
tightening moment.
M8 33.5 Nm
M10 66 Nm
M12 115 Nm
M16 280 Nm
In order to prevent loss of grease, if an adapter flange with 6 holes is
used but only 4 of the holes are used for fixing the homokinetic cou-
pling, then the other holes must be blinded.
• Use the plastic plugs supplied to blind fixing holes that have not been used.

Final check

• Have all the fixing items been used correctly?
• Have all the nuts and bolts been tightened up to the correct moment? If in doubt, check again.
• Is the build-in length correct? See 4.4.
• Has the maximum angle for each half of the coupling been exceeded? See 4.5.
• Turn the propeller shaft round a few times by hand. Check that the ship is tied up securely, start the engine, switch the reverse clutch
to forwards or reverse, and check that the engine and the coupling are properly functioning while idling.
