19. Note the position of the two spacers installed to the lower gearbox bolt, one on either side of the engine.

20. Release the nuts securing the rear gearbox mounting bolts and remove the two bolts. Collect the two spacers from the lower bolt.

1. Rear gearbox bolt
2. Right hand spacer

1. Left hand spacer

Note:

• The frame is fitted with four frame adjuster sleeves, located on the left hand side of the frame, as shown below.

1. Front frame adjuster position
2. Centre frame adjuster position
3. Rear upper frame adjuster position
4. Rear lower frame adjuster position

21. Using tool T3880103, slacken the two rear frame adjuster sleeves.

Caution: To prevent damage to components, lower the engine very carefully.

Installation

1. Position the engine beneath the frame.

2. Raise the engine, looping the drive chain over the output sprocket as it is raised.

Caution: Unless the following engine mounting bolt installation/ tightening sequence is precisely followed, severe frame damage can occur.

3. Align the engine to the frame and carefully fit the right hand centre engine mounting bolt (located at the rear of the cylinder head) ensuring the engine is still adequately and securely supported.

4. Align the left hand centre engine mounting and using tool T3880103, tighten the frame adjuster to 3 Nm. Carefully fit the bolt but do not fully tighten at this stage.

5. Temporarily insert the lower rear (gearbox) bolt from the left hand side, ensuring the two spacers are installed as noted during removal,

The bolt should only be inserted far enough to support the two spacers, as fully inserting the bolt will restrict access to the frame adjuster sleeve. Do not fit the nut.
