6.10 Installation of propeller shafts
The modification of extending or shortening the
wheelbase or additional installation of a gear box to
the drive line requires the modification of the propeller
shaft. If the propeller shaft is improperly modified
such as a change in the pipe length by welding to the
main unit of the propeller shaft, vibration caused by
the propeller shaft can lead to a serious trouble or
accident such as cracks and rupture of the motor
generator and falling-off of the propeller shaft.
Therefore, the modification of the propeller shaft is
strictly prohibited.
If the modification of the propeller shaft is necessary
due to a customer’s request or body mounting layout,
be sure to consult the department responsible.
(É 2.1)
Observe the following when installing propeller shafts:
• Installation guidelines of the propeller shaft
manufacturer.
• If necessary, fit several propeller shafts with
intermediate bearings.
• The flanging surfaces must be completely flat.
• The angular offsets must be identical at both
universal joints (ß
1
= ß
2
). They must not be greater
than 6° or less than 1°.
• Balancing plates must not be removed.
• Make sure that the marks are aligned on the
propeller shafts during installation.
• Eliminate any vibrations, e.g. by optimizing the
propeller shaft angles.
