However, like most precision mechanism it must be properly installed to give service as intended. Installation of this assembly is very simple, but care must be taken to draw the trunnion bearings tightly against the face of the yoke menbers and the bolts tightened securely and locked, to prevent loosening in service, The first operation is to attach the fitting yokes to the two shafts to be connected, and care should be used when doing this, so as not to nick or bend the flanged to which the 4 bearings are fastened. Then the yoke a retaining nut must tightened to bi ahd Prevent it's coming off the shaft: see figure No. 1. % GsP-1805-2 Ar INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION TYPE "C" UNIVERSAL JOINT AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY The next operation, is to bring one end of the universal joint and shaft, up ogainst one of the fitting yokes; see figure No. 2. It will be noted that one of the bearings is inserted in the key-way in the yoke with the male arcuate pilot of the bearing, resting on the female pilot of the yoke. Due to the fact that there are cork pack- ings between each of the bearings and the trunnions on which they fit, this cork packing must be compressed a certain amount, before it is possible to enter the male arcuate surface of the other bearing with the yoke pilot on the opposite side. This can be done by striking the corner of the bearing with a hammer at an angle, to force the bearing down and in, at the same time. Do not attempt to put the bolt through into the bearing until both of the bearings have found their seat on the yoke surface. There is a lock plate provided thet takes in each pair of bolts holding a bearing. The lock plate should be held in place against the back side of the yoke flange; the bolts inserted through the lock plate and yoke; and screwed into the bearing; see figure No. 3. It will be noted thet the pair of bearings at each end of the shaft that are to assemble to the’ end yokes, ere held in place by means of wire. When the joint screws are in place and before they are tightened up securely, this tie wire should be clipped and removed. Then tighten the four bolts securely and turn up one ear of the lock plate against one of the flats on each of the bolts, to prevent their coming loose in service. After one end of the shaft has been put in place, the sheft can be compressed in the slip joint to permit raising the other end of the shaft and then, coming forvard against the yoke member, pro- ceed exactly the same as stated above. should it be necessary to dis- assemble the joint for some reason or another-for instance-to replace @ cross or bearing-it is only necessary to turn oun the lock plete on all the bolts holding the four bearings to the two yokes, then remove the eight bolts (4 per each yoke) compress the shaft assenbly in the slip joint and remove the cross and the four bearing assemblies. It may be that some of the bearings are tight in their respective pilots and key seats, which will make it necessary to tap the top of the bearing slightly, in order to release it-then, the cross and bearing assembly can be replaced in part, or e¢ a complete unit.
