gines.and.their.components.if.they.are.to.operate.
perfectly..Always.make.sure.that.the.correct.specifica-
tions,.drawings.and.any.other.data.are.available.be-
fore.starting.work..This.will.allow.for.correct.planning.
and.installation.right.from.the.start.

routine.service.operations.involving.the.replacement.
of.components..Compare.the.engine.Service.Manual.
with.the.original.drawings.showing.the.dimensions.
