Hi,

When you say you didn't make marks, that is done so the unit is put back together in the same location. The purpose is for balance. The drive shafts are balanced so they want you to keep them together the way it was made. It shouldn't cause a problem if you didn't mark it. The worst case is you may feel a vibration. If that happens, it will become a guessing game to determine where it needs to be placed. However, chances are it won't be an issue.

If you are concerned about how, it goes together, I attached an exploded view below showing that info.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
