Introduction
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 performed 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 attai-
•
ned 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 tighten
screws and nuts (F. 2).
Never attempt to increase the lever arm by fitting a tube into the wrench (F-3).
