Examine and clean the mating
surface (arrow),

Examine and clean the mating
surfaces (arrows), and remove
any gasket residues,

Always use a new cylinder gasket
after removing the cylinder.

– Examine the piston rings and

replace if necessary,

5.7,

5.8

If the piston or the piston rings are
damaged, then the inside of the
cylinder must also be inspected for
damage, replace cylinder if
necessary.

Installation

Orient new cylinder gasket (1) so
that the tab (2) is located at the
ridge (3)
– the openings must match with
the crankcase

Guide cylinder gasket (1) over
the piston and lay it in the
sleeves (arrows)
– Cylinder gasket is secured

Place wooden assembly
block (1) 1108 893 4800
between piston and crankcase

Avoid damage to the cylinder
gasket.

5904RA062 TG

5904RA063 TG

– Coat piston, piston rings and

inside of cylinder with oil,

Use the clamping strap (1)
0000 893 2600 to compress the
rings around the piston

– Ensure that piston rings are

correctly positioned,

5.8

The clamping strap (1) must be
fitted in such a way that the piston
rings do not protrude beyond the
piston sides.
