RECOMMENDATIONS
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 perfor-
med 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 tig-
hten screws and nuts (F. 2).
•
Never attempt to increase the lever arm by fitting a tube into the wrench
(F-3).
