PISTON RINGS SET UP

Before setting up, apply oil on each piston ring, then enlarge piston rings; at the same
time put them on the piston and move downwards gradually, until piston rings fall into the
ring groove.

PISTON SET INSTALLATION

• Remove the gasket attached to the crankcase.
• Mount piston onto the small end of the connecting rod.

the exhaust port).
