4. CAUTION WHEN SERVICING THE ENGINE
1) Cleaness
Engine has a lot of precisely machined (grinding, polishing, lapping) surfaces. Thus, there should
be great cautions for cleaness when servicing the engine components. Apply the engine oil on
the sliding surfaces when assemblying the components. Every component should be
disassembled and reassembled in accordance with the correct sequences. Before servicing the
engine, the negative cable should be diconnected from the battery. Otherwise, some electric or
electronic components could be damaged.
2) Servicing
Before service work, be sure to disconnect battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damages by
bad wire and short.
To prevent the foreign material from getting into engine cylinder, cover the inlet of air cleaner if
the air cleaner has been removed.
(1) Lifting up the vehicle
Always keep the safety precautions.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling down, put the chocks under the tires (when using a 4-post
lift).
Make sure to support the correct lifting points (when using a 2-post lift) -
-
-
(2) Exhaust system
Wear the safety glove when removing the exhaust pipe.
Make sure that the exhaust pipe is cooled before removing it. -
