Section 8
Disassembly
WARNING: Accidental Starts!
Disabling engine. Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. Before working on the engine or equipment,
disable the engine by disconnecting the spark plug lead.
The following sequence is a step-by-step guide for
complete engine disassembly. This procedure may
vary depending on the options included.
Thoroughly clean all engine parts during the
disassembly process. This allows for more accurate
inspection and gauging of the engine for wear or
damage. Use a commercial cleaner to remove grease,
oil, and grime from engine parts. When such a cleaner
is used, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and
safety precautions carefully.
Remove all traces of cleaners before the engine is
reassembled and placed into operation. Even small
amounts of these cleaners can quickly break down the
lubricating properties of engine oil.
