IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL
PROCEDURES
1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust and foreign ma-
terial before removal and disassembly.
2. Use proper tools and cleaning equipment.
Refer to the “SPECIAL TOOLS” section.
3. When disassembling the machine, always
keep mated parts together. This includes
gears, cylinders, pistons and other parts
that have been “mated” through normal
wear. Mated parts must always be reused
or replaced as an assembly.
4. During machine disassembly, clean all
parts and place them in trays in the order of
disassembly. This will speed up assembly
and allow for the correct installation of all
parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
