Remove the dirt, mud, dust and foreign objects from the vehicle before dis-
assembling components. Wherever required, use the special tools designed
for this vehicle.
DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
•
Do not loosen and/or tighten the screws and nuts using pliers or other tools,
but always use the specific wrench.
•
Mark the positions on all the connection joints (hoses, cables, etc.) before
separating them and identify them with different distinctive marks.
•
Each piece should be clearly marked in order to be identified during the in-
stallation phase.
•
Carefully clean and wash the disassembled components with detergents with
a low flammability grade.
•
Keep the coupled parts together because they have "adapted" to one another
following normal wear.
•
Some components must be used together or replaced entirely.
•
Keep away from heat sources.
REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
CAUTION
THE BEARING MUST ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE,
OTHERWISE THEY MUST BE REPLACED.
•
Use only aprilia ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS.
•
Always use the recommended lubricants and consumable material.
•
Lubricate the parts (when possible) before reassembling them.
•
When tightening screws and nuts, begin with the larger diameter or internal
ones, proceeding diagonally. Tighten with subsequent steps before applying
the prescribed torque.
•
Always replace the locknuts, gaskets, seal rings, snap rings, O-Rings (OR),
cotter pins and screws if they have damaged thread, with new ones.
•
When disassembling the bearings, lubricate them abundantly.
•
Ensure that each component has been assembled correctly.
