may contain abrasive foreign particles. Don’t use just any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in
particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application
and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended. This manual makes
reference to molybdenum disulfide grease (MoS

) in the assembly of certain engine and chassis
parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
Electrical Wires: All the electrical wires are either single-colour or two-colour and, with only a few
exceptions, must be connected to wires of the same colour. On any of the two-colour wires there is
a greater amount of one colour and a lesser amount of a second colour, so a two-colour wire is
identified by first the primary colour and then the secondary colour. For example, a red wire with
thin yellow strips is referred to as a “red/yellow” wire; it would be a “yellow/red” wire if the
colours were reversed to make red the main colour.
Replacement Parts: When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones
every time they are removed. These replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original
function once removed.
Inspection: When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following
conditions or other damage. If there is any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with
new ones.
Abrasion
Crack
Hardening
Warp
Bent
Dent
Scratch
Wear
Colour Change

Specifications: Specification terms are defined as follows:
“Standards” show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have.
“Service Limits” indicate the usable limits. If the measurement shows excessive wear or
deteriorated performance, replace the damaged parts
References to the left-hand or right-hand side given in this manual are made when viewing the
