If bolts are allowed to turn, bolts,
plates and shaft adapter assembly
can be damaged.
3.
Torque nuts (4) to 440 inch-pounds.
4.
Perform a vibration check for engine drive
shafts. If vibration is not greater than 1.0 ips,
go to Follow-On Maintenance. If check is
unsatisfactory (vibration greater than 1.0 ips),
continue with step 5.
5.
Match-mark each drive shaft (3) to adapters
(1 and 2). Match-mark adapter (1) to engine
transmission (5) and adapter (2) to combining
transmission (6). Use a marking pencil (E270.1).
