According to ZIMM, the [connecting shaft](https://zimm.com/product-catalogue/connection-technology/connecting-shafts-vwz/) must be placed precisely onto the shaft extensions. This requires that all involved gear units are accurately leveled. Proper axial alignment minimizes vibration, increases operational safety, and reduces maintenance effort.
