transmission assembly to reduce power
loss, heat and noise resulting from friction.
Because bearings are precision parts, they
must be maintained with proper lubrication
and maintenance. If a bearing is damaged,
replace it immediately. When installing a
new bearing, take care to prevent
damaging it.
Note:
Unless otherwise specified, install
bearings with the manufacturer’s mark
