1.4 WARNINGS

• Before carrying out any operation on the vehicle, wait for all parts to cool down.

• For operations requiring two mechanics, make sure that the various steps to be performed by each of them are

clearly defined and coordinated beforehand.

• Make sure that each component has been properly fitted before proceeding with the next one.

• Lubricate all parts (where applicable) before reinstalling them.

• Gaskets, O-rings, circlips and split pins must be replaced at every refitting.

• The torque settings specified in the manuals refer to the “final torque”, which must be attained progressively by

steps.

• Loosen and tighten aluminium alloy parts (covers) only after the

engine has fully cooled down

• Only use screwdrivers with sizes suitable to the screws to be loosened or tightened.

• Work in a comfortable position and ensure that the vehicle is stable.

• Never use a screwdriver as a lever or chisel.

• Never use pincers to loosen or tighten screws or nuts because, in addition to not providing a sufficient clamping

force, they may also damage the screw head or nut hexagon.

• Never tap the wrench with a hammer or other similar tools to loosen or tighten screws and nuts (F. 2).

• Never attempt to increase the lever arm by fitting a tube into the wrench (F. 3).
