IMPORTANT NOTES

All operations are to be carried out with utmost attention and care to avoid damage to components.

To free parts that are stuck, knock lightly with an aluminium or lead hammer for ferrous materials; use a wooden or resin hammer for parts in light alloy.

When removing, check that parts, which should be marked, bear reference marks.

When reassembling, lubricate the parts where necessary to avoid seizing during the initial period of operation.

When reassembling it is most important to respect the torques and setting data.

When refitting, always replace seal gaskets, oil rings, spring washers, safety plates, self locking nuts and all parts that are worn.
