• The magnetic encoder collects any metallic 

particle easily, because it is magnetized. Make 
sure that the magnetic encoder should not 
collect any metallic particle. Check that there 
is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.

• When the driveshaft is installed, make sure 

that it does not contact with the magnetic 
encoder to avoid damage.

• When installing the  driveshaft, be careful that 

the spline part of the driveshaft do not dam-
age the oil seal.
