General description
A GLOSSARY AND SYMBOLS
During this kind of proce-
dure inflammable vapours
might develop and metallic
parts might be expelled at
high velocity. Thus, it is nec-
essary to:
- work far from exposed
flames and sparks;
- wear protective clothing;
- wear protective eye-
glasses.
ATTENTION
In case it should be neces-
sary, due to wear, to substi-
tute a particular, relative to
a cylinder, we strongly sug-
gest that you check and if
necessary, substitute the
same particular in all of the
cylinders for more satisfying
results.
In particular, we recom-
mend that at the same time
you substitute:
- pistons with relative elas-
tic bands and piston pins;
- valves with relative
springs, semi-cones,
disks and grazings;
- Valve guides with relative
valves, springs, semi-
cones and grazings;
- bed bearing;
- whatever else undergoes
uniform wear, aside from
the position of the relative
cylinder.
In order to allow the motor
to function under the best
conditions, it is necessary
that all of the couplings are
within the accepted toler-
ances established. A tight
coupling, is in fact, cause
for seizure as soon as the
organs in motion begin to
heat, while a loose cou-
pling is cause for vibrations
which accelerates wear on
the particulars in motion.
N.B.
All of the countersigns indicting right,
left, superior, inferior, front and back,
refer to the motor-bike in the normal
direction of march.
WARNING
The motor supports numbering of the
cylinders and of the attached compo-
nents, increases moving from left
towards right in regards to the direction
of march.
N.B.
WARNING
This symbol indicates the "procedure to
be carried out with the motor removed
from the motor-bike".
This symbol indicates "the procedures
to be carried out with an empty cooling
circuit".
