CAUTION Never use an ordinary nut in place of the clutch breakaway nut. The
ordinary nut is not designed to provide the breakaway-under-load
protection provided by the Agilent-provided nut.
After you have assembled and tightened the linkage, unscrew the clutch
breakaway nut and position it about 5 mm (1/4-inch) up the shaft, so it
does not interfere with operation of the clutch.
Spherical washer sets are particularly useful in right-angle situations,
when used with the Agilent-provided adapter, or on complex linkages
where out-of-squareness can be a problem.
