Installation Guidelines
- Inspect on arrival: Verify part number 3128 0458 18. Check for transit damage or surface defects — reject any visually non-conforming component.
- Clean mating surfaces: Remove all rust, old rubber fragments, grease, and paint. Flat tolerance within 0.5 mm.
- Align correctly: Follow assembly drawing orientation. Incorrect orientation can cause premature failure.
- Torque fasteners: Use calibrated torque wrench and cross-pattern tightening sequence per OEM specification.
- Post-install check: Visual inspection for correct seating. Run equipment at low speed to verify absence of abnormal noise or vibration.
