REMOVAL OF ENGINE FROM THE FRAME
Disconnect the (-) cable from the battery, the elec-
trical cables of the dynamotor and the electronic
control unit; remove the covers, the carburettor
bellows and hot air of the cab, the oil and petrol
adduction tubes, throttle grips, gearbox, starter,
reverse, clutch, etc.
After carrying out the above steps:
remove, using the 3 anchor bolts, the axle shaft
hubs (left and right) from the elastic coupling; then
hold the engine differential unit using a lifting de-
vice, remove three anchor bolts (two in front of the
cross member and one at the rear of the load box)
and remove the engine differential unit.
DRAIN OIL FROM ENGINE
Install the engine-differential unit in the support (1)
included in components 30, 33, 37 and proceed to
empty, in a special clean from engine oil bowl
through the drain hole "2".
N.B.
TO FACILITATE THE EMPTYING, UNSCREW THE OIL FILL-
ER CAP.

NOTES RELATING TO REASSEMBLY
To reassemble the vehicle, we illustrate those operations that require special tools or expedients.
Those operations that are easy to perform, that can be easily carried out with screwdrivers, wrenches,
normal pliers, etc. and which can be easily perceived by the operator are not included: similarly, the
operations which are already described for the disassembly phase, for which it is necessary to simply
follow the procedures in reverse order are not described.
Upon refitting, all components that have been disassembled must be subjected to accurate cleaning
and to an inspection of the wear condition.
To be remembered in particular that:
-The half crankcases of the engine must not show cracks or deformations; the seats of the bearings
must be free of abrasions.
- Ball bearings: make sure they are in perfect conditions, without excessive axial and radial clearances;
make sure they run freely turning them by hand: if after they have been cleaned (washing with petrol),
surface roughness is felt, replace them.
