GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-7
Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats
and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you
wear (e.g, buttons) may cause damage to the vehicle’s
finish.
When performing service to electrical parts that does
not require use of battery power, disconnect the nega-
tive cable of the battery.
When removing the battery, be sure to disconnect the
negative cable first and then the positive cable. When
reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first
and then the negative cable, and replace the terminal
cover.
When removing parts that are to be reused, be sure to
keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that they
may be reinstalled in the proper order and position.
Whenever you use oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings,
locking washers, split pins, self-locking nuts, and cer-
tain other parts as specified, be sure to use new ones.
Also, before installing new gaskets, packing, etc., be
sure to remove any residual material from the mating
surfaces.
