Suzuki Intruder 1978 Service Manual

Foreword
This manual is designed primarily for use by snow-
mobile mechanics in a properly equipped shop.
However, it contains enough detail and basic in-
formation to make it useful to the snowmobile user
who desires to perform his own basic mainte-
nance and repair work. A basic knowledge of
mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop
procedures must be understood in order to carry
out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. When-
ever the owner has insufficient experience or
doubts his ability to do the work, the adjustments,
maintenance, and repair should be carried out only
by qualified mechanics .
In order to perform the work efficiently and to
avoid costly mistakes, the mechanic should read
the text, thoroughly familiarize himself with the
procedures before starting work, and then do the
work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special
tools or equ ipment is specified, makeshift tools or
equipment should not be used. Precision measure-
ments can only be made if the proper instruments
are used, and the use of substitute tools may
adversely affect safe operation of the snowmobile.
Whenever you see the symbols shown below, heed
their instructions I Always follow safe operating
and maintenance practices.
