OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
1.
Disassembly and reassembly operations for the engine assembly must be carried out while the engine
is set on the engine stand. Never perform the operations on a work bench or the floor, since doing so is
very dangerous.
2. Always wear gloves when holding or moving the cylinder head assembly or cylinder block: never use
bare hands.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Safe operation
(1) Correctly wear protection tools. (Cap, safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.)
(2) Do not touch the radiator, muffler, exhaust pipe and other engine related parts immediately after
stopping the engine to prevent scalding.
(3) Do not bring clothes, tools and others close to rotating parts during engine operation.
(4)
Turn the ignition switch
OFF
and remove the ignition key unless engine operation is necessary.
2. Preparation before disassembly
(1) Prepare general tools,
SST,
measuring tools, greases, and non-reusable parts.
(2) When disassembling a complicated assembly, put punch or matching marks at places not affecting
the function to facilitate reassembly operations.
3. Keeping out foreign matter
If foreign matter such as dust, sand or metal pieces enter the engine it could cause a malfunction.
(1) Fully clean off any sand or mud from the outside of the engine.
(2) Use plastic covers to protect
the
disassembled parts from dust.
