HOW TO READ DESCRIPTIONS
To help identify parts and clarify procedure steps, there are exploded diagrams at the start of each
removal and disassembly section.
1. An easy-to-see exploded diagram
1
is provided for removal and disassembly jobs.
2. Numbers
2
are given in the order of the jobs in the exploded diagram. A number that is
enclosed by a circle indicates a disassembly step.
3. An explanation of jobs and notes is presented in an easy-to-read way by the use of symbol
marks
3
. The meanings of the symbol marks are given on the next page.
4. A job instruction chart
4
accompanies the exploded diagram, providing the order of jobs,
names of parts, notes in jobs, etc.
5. Extent of removal
5
is provided in the job instruction chart to save the trouble of an unneces-
sary removal job.
6. For jobs requiring more information, the step-by-step format supplements
6
are given in addi-
tion to the exploded diagram and job instruction chart.

AUFBAU
Diese Anleitung wurde zusammen-
gestellt, um dem Benutzer ein leicht

gestellten Arbeitsvorgänge (Ein- und
Ausbau, Zerlegung und Zusammen-
bau, Prüfung und Reparatur) detail-
liert und in der entsprechenden
Reihenfolge beschrieben sind.
Je nach Zustand eines fehlerhaften
Bauteils weist ein Pfeilsymbol auf die
erforderliche Maßnahme hin. Bei-

LESEN DER BESCHREIBUNGEN
Um bei der Identifikation der Teile zu
helfen und die Arbeitsschritte zu ver-
deutlichen, sind Explosionsdia-
gramme am Beginn jedes Ausbau-
und Demontageabschnittes darge-
stellt.
1. Für die Ausbau- und Demonta-
gearbeiten ist meistens ein über-
sichtliches Explosionsdiagramm
1
dargestellt.
2. Die Nummern
2
in dem Explosi-
onsdiagramm sind in der Rei-
henfolge der Arbeiten
aufgeführt. Eine in einen Kreis
eingeschriebene Nummer
bezeichnet einen Demontage-
schritt.
3. Eine Erläuterung der Arbeiten
und Hinweise ist durch ablese-
freundliche Symbolmarkierun-
gen
3
gegeben. Die
Bedeutungen der Symbolmar-
kierungen sind auf der nächsten
Seite aufgeführt.
4. Eine Arbeitsanweisungstabelle

begleitet das Explosionsdia-
gramm und gibt die Arbeitsrei-
henfolge, Bezeichnung der
Teile, Hinweise zu den Arbeiten
usw. an.
5. Der Umfang des Ausbaus

ist
in der Arbeitsanweisungstabelle
aufgeführt, um nicht erforderli-
che Ausbauarbeiten zu vermei-
den.
6. Für Arbeiten, für die weitere
Informationen benötigt werden,
sind schrittweise Ergänzungen

STRUTTURA DEL
MANUALE
Tutte le procedure di questo manuale
sono organizzate in sequenze passo a
passo. Le informazioni sono state redatte
in modo tale da fornire al meccanico un
riferimento comodo e di agevole lettura
che comprenda, al contempo, spiega-
zioni complete relative alle operazioni di
smontaggio, riparazione, montaggio ed
ispezione.
In questo nuovo formato, la condizione
di un componente non funzionante pre-
cede una freccia e l’azione richiesta
segue il simbolo., ad es.:
l
Cuscinetti
Puntinatura/danno
®
Sostituire.
COME LEGGERE LE DESCRI-
ZIONI
Allo scopo di agevolare l’identificazione
dei pezzi e di chiarire le fasi delle varie
procedure, sono state inserite rappresen-
tazioni esplose all’inizio di ciascun para-
grafo dedicato alla rimozione e allo
smontaggio.
1. Una rappresentazione esplosa di
immediata comprensione
1
viene
fornita per agevolare le operazioni
di rimozione e smontaggio.
2. I numeri
2
sono indicati nella rap-
presentazione esplosa secondo la
sequenza di lavoro. Un numero rac-
chiuso in un cerchietto indica una
fase di un’operazione di smontag-
gio.
3. Una spiegazione delle operazioni e
delle note viene illustrata in maniera
chiara dall’impiego di riferimenti
simbolici
3
. Il significato dei riferi-
menti simbolici viene fornito alla
pagina seguente.
4. Uno schema di istruzioni di lavoro
4
unitamente alla rappresenta-
zione esplosa, fornisce la sequenza
dei lavori, i nomi dei pezzi, le note
relative ai lavori, ecc.
5. L’indicazione relativa alla portata
dell’intervento di rimozione
5
viene fornita nello schema di istru-
zioni per evitare operazioni di rimo-
zione non necessaire.
6. Per quegli interventi che richiedono
maggiori informazioni, vengono
forniti supplementi in formato passo
a passo
6
oltre alla rappresenta-
zione esplosa e allo schema di istru-
zioni.
