SAFE OPERATING MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
●
Do not attempt to retighten engine head bolts.
Retightening can cause engine damage.
●
During the initial break-in period, use only Harley-
Davidson 20W50 engine oil. Failure to use the rec-
ommended oil will result in improper break-in of the
engine cylinders and piston rings.
A careful check of certain equipment is necessary after peri-
ods of storage, and frequently between regular service inter-
vals, to determine if additional maintenance is required.
Check:
1.
Tires for abrasions, cuts and correct pressure.
2.
Secondary drive belt for proper tension and condition.
3.
Brakes, steering and throttle for responsiveness.
4.
Brake fluid level and condition. Hydraulic lines and fit-
tings for leaks. Also, check brake pads and rotors for
wear.
5.
Cables for fraying, crimping and free operation.
6.
Engine oil and transmission fluid levels.
7.
Headlamp, passing lamp, tail lamp, brake lamp and turn
signal operation.

Safety
Safety is always the most important consideration when per-
forming any job. Be sure you have a complete understanding
of the task to be performed. Use common sense. Use the
proper tools. Protect yourself and bystanders with approved
eye protection. Don’t just do the job – do the job safely.
Removing Parts
Always consider the weight of a part when lifting. Use a hoist
whenever necessary. Do not lift heavy parts by hand. A hoist
and adjustable lifting beam or sling are needed to remove
some parts. The lengths of chains or cables from the hoist to
the part should be equal and parallel and should be posi-
tioned directly over the center of the part. Be sure that no
obstructions will interfere with the lifting operation. Never
leave a part suspended in mid-air.

WARNING
Always check the capacity rating and condition of hoists,
slings, chains or cables before use. Failure to do so can
lead to an accident which could result in death or serious
injury.
Always use blocking or proper stands to support the part that
has been hoisted. If a part cannot be removed, verify that all
bolts and attaching hardware have been removed. Check to
see if any parts are in the way of the part being removed.
When removing hoses, wiring or tubes, always tag each part
to ensure proper installation.
Cleaning
If you intend to reuse parts, follow good shop practice and
thoroughly clean the parts before assembly. Keep all dirt out
of parts; the unit will perform better and last longer. Seals, fil-
ters and covers are used in this vehicle to keep out environ-
mental dirt and dust. These items must be kept in good
condition to ensure satisfactory operation.
Clean and inspect all parts as they are removed. Be sure wall
holes and passages are clean and open. After cleaning,
cover all parts with clean lint-free cloth, paper or other mate-
rial. Be sure the part is clean when it is installed.
Always clean around lines or covers before they are removed.
Plug, tape or cap holes and openings to keep out dirt, dust
and debris.
