Model 463 

as of model year 2013 up to model year 2019 

  1. Position shift cylinder with new seal onto axle tube and screw in screws.

    IMPORTANT The gearshift lever must engage in the mounting hole of the shift rod. Do not tighten screws because the shift cylinder must still be able to be moved.

  2. Move shift cylinder to the applied position using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure.
  3. Move shift cylinder towards the differential (arrow) until the dog clutch's stop is reached. In doing so turn the axle shafts, until the differential lock noticeably latches into place.

    IMPORTANT Only move the shift cylinder far enough so that the inner spring is not tensioned. The shift cylinder must not move back when released.

  4. Tighten screws of shift cylinder in this position.
  5. Remove the hydraulic or pneumatic pressure applied in step 2 from the shift cylinder.
  6. By rotating the axle shafts, check whether the differential lock has disengaged.

    IMPORTANT The differential lock must be unlocked.
