GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
(12) Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals.
When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer's marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals
should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the
face of the seal is even with the end of the hole.
(13) Seal Guide
A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips.
Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber to
metal friction.
(14) Circlip, Retaining Ring
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and
deforms them. When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only
enough to install them and no more.
(15) Cotter Pin
Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them.
(16) Lubrication
Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing
surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable)
should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should
be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubricative quality and 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 for which they are not intended. This manual
makes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease ( MOS2 ) in the assembly of certain engine and chassis
parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(17) Electrical Wires
All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be
connected to wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color
and a lesser amount of a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primary color and then
the secondary color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a "yellow/red" wire;
it would be a "red/yellow" wire if the colors were reversed to make red the main color.~
(18) 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.
(19) 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
Color change Deterioration Seizure
(20) 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.
