WARNING 

DO NOT AIM HIGH PRESSURE WATER JET 

DIRECTLY AT WHEEL BEARINGS, SUSPENSION 

PARTS, MUFFLERS, AIR FILTER AND ELECTRICAL 

COMPONENTS. WATER CAN FLUSH OUT THE 

GREASE FROM THE BEARINGS AND DAMAGE 

GASKETS.

13� 

Compose  the  diagrams  of  similar  components.  For 

example,  the  housing  bolts  are  often  of  different 

length, and the separated components can get mixed 

up making it difficult to reassemble them.

14� 

Make sure that all gaskets and washers are in place in 

the desired position.

15� 

Usually there are washers in places where the rotating 

parts are in contact with the fixed ones. 

16� 

Use a new gasket if your old one is damaged.

17� 

When  removing  the  self-locking  fastening  elements, 

they  should  be  replaced  with  new  ones.  Do  not 

install  conventional  fasteners  instead  of  self-locking 

elements�

18� 

Use  grease  for  fixing  small  parts,  if  they  fall  apart 

during assembly. Do not apply grease to brake parts, 

working surfaces of the cvt and electrical components.
