5. Mount flange (1) clockwise and offset, then check for concentricity.

   When moving for first time, install flange (1) offset through 180° clockwise.

   When moving for second time, install flange (1) offset through 90° clockwise.

   When moving for third time, install flange (1) offset through 180° clockwise.

   The deviation to total concentricity must not be greater than the specified value, if necessary replace flange (1).
