Assembly

1.  Place the powerhead/outer Tube As-

sembly on a clean, flat surface, spark 

plug facing up.

.  Use the 4mm hex wrench to loosen the 

tube clamp and index screw. Verify that 

the D-shaped shim washer is positioned 

as shown in Figure 4.

CAUTION! 
Do not remove the D-shaped shim

washer! The shim washer prevents

damage from overtightening the tube

clamp screw.

3.  Slide the outer tube into the tube clamp 

until the tube bottoms. If installation is 

difficult, rotate the outer tube or main 

shaft slightly until you feel the main-

shaft splines engage with the gearcase.

4.  Position the outer tube so that the index 

hole on the outer tube is aligned with 

the index screw on the gearcase tube 

clamp.

Connect the Powerhead/Outer 

Tube to the Gearcase

CAUTION!
Do not force the shaft tube into the

gearcase! Excessive force can dam-

age the shaft tube and mainshaft.

5.  Using finger pressure only, thread the 

index screw into the index hole located 

on the outer tube until it bottoms out.

6. Tighten the index screw and the clamp 

screw firmly.

NOTE:

It may be necessary to twist the outer tube 

slightly for the index screw to be inserted fully.
