ENGINE SHIELD

If the engine shield has to be removed, e.g. for
access to the carburettor, etc., apply a little
L O C T I T E l i q u i d
polymer sealant to the
two crankcase lug
screw holes when
reinserting the fixing
screws. Use LOCTITE
sparingly, as excess
sealant will have a
deleterious effect on
the shield material.

Apply a little LOCTITE
to these screw holes.

INSTALLATION OF ENGINE

Make sure that the chassis is flat and free from
flaws or dirt. The recommended screws for
securing the engine to the chassis are 3mm (8
to 10mm long ).
In the case of the 12/15LD-X, fit the engine
mount spacers between the engine and
chassis to avoid interference between starter
housing and chassis.
Divide the spacers into lengths.
