Warning

WARNING

All operations are to be carried out with utmost care and attention to avoid personal injuries.

There are many moving parts, hot parts and live electric wires in the engine compartment.

Always remember the following precautions when working on the engine compartment:

• Switch off the engine and wait for it to cool.
• Do not smoke.
• Do not use naked flames.
• Make sure there is a fire extinguisher at hand.

For some procedures the use of specific tools is indicated. The use of these tools is necessary to operate in safety.

Follow all safety precautions in force in the workshop. Where relevant, follow the specific safety precautions specified in this Manual to avoid dangerous situations.

When using chemical products strictly observe the preventive instructions indicated on the safety sheet that the supplier must hand over to the user (for Italy in accordance with D.M. n. 47/1992).

WARNINGS

Perform all operations with the utmost care to avoid damaging the vehicle.

Avoid brake-clutch fluid from dripping on painted parts. If this happens, wash the part immediately with water.

Never reuse the brake-clutch fluid drained during bleeding operations.

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.

Appropriately protect the engine parts with adhesive paper or clean rags to prevent dust or other objects from getting inside when parts are removed.

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

When reassembling change the seals, oil rings, spring washers, safety plates, self-locking nuts and all worn parts.
