Service Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
(12)Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally dam-
ages 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 oil, preferably high-temperature
grease on the lips to reduce rubber to metal friction.
(14)Circlip, Retaining Ring and Cotter Pin
When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough
to install them and no more. Install the circlip with its chamfered side facing load side as well.
Replace any circlips, retaining rings, and cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as re-
moval weakens and deforms them. If old ones are reused, they could become detached while
running, leading to a problem.
(15)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 parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(16)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.
(17)Replacement Parts
When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are
removed. There replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed.
(18)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
(19)Service Data
Service Data terms are defined as follows:
“Standards” show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have.
