Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead
to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. Furthermore,
used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants that can cause cancer. When handling
used engine oil, always wear protective clothing and
avoid any skin contact with the oil.
Do not pour engine oil on the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into watercourses. To prevent pollution of
watercourses etc., dispose of used oil sensibly. If in doubt
contact your local authority.

• Only the pressure pump can be removed with
the engine in the frame. If removing the
pressure pump, remove the clutch cover (see

must be separated. The following instructions
describe the procedure for removal of both
