Handling of sealants
• Wear protective gloves to protect your skin,
when using the sealants.
• See the material safety data sheet issued by
the manufacturer. Some of the sealants may
be harmful to human health.
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools to
work safely, and to protect parts from damage.
Tightening torque
Follow the tightening torque specifications pro-
vided throughout the manual. When tightening
nuts, bolts, and screws, tighten the large sizes
first, and tighten fasteners starting in the center
and moving outward.
Non-reusable parts
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cotter
pins, and so on, when installing or assembling
parts.
Disassembly and assembly
• Use compressed air to remove dust and dirt
during disassembly.
• Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces of
moving parts before assembly.
• Install bearings so that the bearing identifica-
tion mark is facing in the direction indicated in
the installation procedure. In addition, make
sure to lubricate the bearings liberally.
• Apply a thin coat of water resistant grease to
the lip and periphery of an oil seal before in-
stallation.
• Check that moving parts operate normally af-
ter assembly.
