GENERAL RULES

1. Where specified, assemble and disas-

semble the suspension system using the

M

ARZOCCHI

 

special tools only.

2. On reassembling the suspension system,

always use new seals.

3. Clean all metal parts with a special,

preferably biodegradable, solvent such
as trichloroethane or trichloroethylene.

4. Before reassembling, lubricate all parts

in contact with each other using silicone
fat spray or specific seal oil.

5. Always grease the conic seal rings be-

fore reassembling.

6. Use wrenches with metric size only.

Wrenches with inch size might damage
the fastening devices even when their
size is similar to that of the wrenches in
metric size.

7. If two screws are close one to the other,

always tighten using a 1-2-1 sequence.
In short, screw the first screw just up to the
point it is well tightened, then tighten the
second screw and then go back to the
first one and screw it tighter.
