Oil Pumps
Note:
• Two oil
pumps
are fitted
to
this
model. A
pressure
pump
to
supply
oil
under
pressure
to
various parts
of
the
engine,
and a
twin-rotor
scavenge
pump
to
return
oil
to
the
oil
tank
from the sump.
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can
lead
to
skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
Furthermore, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants that
can
cause cancer. When
handling used engine oil, always wear protective
clothing
and
avoid any skin contact with the oil.
Do
not pour engine oil
on
the ground, down sewers
or drains, or into watercourses.
To
prevent pollution
of watercourses etc., dispose of used oil sensibly.
If
in
doubt contact your local authority.
Removal
Note:
• Only the pressure
pump
can be removed
with
the
engine in frame. If removing
the
pressure pump, remove the clutch cover
as described on page

Note:
•
To
remove the scavenge pump,
the
engine
must
be removed and the crankcase
halves
must
be separated. The following
instructions
describe the procedure
for
removal
of
both
pumps
simultaneously.
