Notice
We could not possibly know of and advise the service
trade of all conceivable procedures by which a ser-
vice might be performed and of the possible hazards
and/or results of each method. We have not under-
taken any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone
who uses a service procedure and/or tool, which is
not recommended by the manufacturer, first
must completely satisfy himself that neither his nor
the product’s safety will be endangered by the ser-
vice procedure selected.
Throughout this publication, “Dangers,” “Warnings”
and “Cautions” are used to alert the mechanic to spe-
cial instructions concerning a particular service or
operation that may be hazardous if performed incor-
rectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully!
These“SafetyAlerts”alonecannoteliminatethehaz-
ards that they signal. Strict compliance to these spe-
cial instructions when performing the service, plus
“common sense” operation, are major accident pre-
vention measures.
All information, illustrations and specifications con-
tained in this manual are based on the latest product
information available at time of publication.

It should be kept in mind, while working on the prod-
uct, that the electrical system and ignition system are
capable of violent and damaging short circuits or se-
vere electrical shocks. When performing any work

grounded or touched by the mechanic, the battery
cables should be disconnected at the battery.
CAUTION
Any time the intake or exhaust openings are exposed
during service they should be covered to protect
against accidental entrance of foreign material which
could enter the cylinders and cause extensive inter-
nal damage when the engine is started.
!
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which
could result in minor personal injury or product
or property damage.
It is important to note that, during any mainte-
nance procedure, replacement fasteners must have
the same measurements and strength as those re-
moved, whether metric or customary. Numbers on
the heads of the metric bolts and on surfaces of met-
ric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use
radial lines for this purpose, while most custom-
ary nuts do not have strength markings. Mismatched
or incorrect fasteners can result in damage or mal-
function, or possible personal injury. Therefore, fas-
teners removed should be saved for re-use in the
same locations whenever possible. Where the fas-
teners are not satisfactory for re-use, care should be
taken to select a replacement that meets the
same specifications as the original.
