that do not meet Kipor's design specifications may damage the engine.
2. Use the special tools designed for the product.

specified torque diagonally, unless a particular sequence is specified.
5. Clean parts in cleaning solvent upon disassembly. Lubricate any sliding surfaces before
reassembly.
6. After reassembly, check all parts for proper installation and operation.
7. Many screws used in this machine are self-tapping. Be aware that cross-threading or over
tightening these screws will strip the threads and ruin the hole.

interchangeable with non metric fasteners. The use of incorrect tools and fasteners may damage
the engine.

■ Electric precautions
1. Hold the connector body to disconnect the connector. Do not disconnect by pulling the wire
harness. To disconnect the locking connector, be sure to unlock first, and then disconnect.
2. Check the connector terminals for bend, excessive extrusion, missing terminal, or other
abnormalities before connecting the connector.
3. To connect, insert the connector as full as it goes. If the connector is a locking type, be sure that
it is locked securely.
4. Check the connector cover for breakage and check whether the connector female terminal is
open excessively. Then, connect the connector securely. Check the connector terminal for rust.
Remove the rust using an emery paper or equivalent material before connecting the connector.
5. Set the harness clips in the specified places of the frame securely, and clamp the wire
harnesses.
6. Clamp the wire harnesses securely so that they do not interfere with the rotating parts, moving
parts and the hot parts.
7. Route and connect the wire harnesses properly. Be sure that the harnesses are not slack,
twisted or pulled taut.
8. Route the wire harnesses properly so that they do not contact with the shape edges and
corners, and the end of the bolts and screws on the body.
9. If a wire harness contacts the end of the bolts/screws or sharp edges and corners, protect the
contact part of the harness with a tube or by winding with an electrician's insulating tape. If the
wire harness has a grommet, set the grommet securely.
10. Take care not to pinch the wire harnesses during installation of a part. If a wire harness has
the damaged insulation, repair by winding with the electrician's insulating tape.
11. Read the tester manufacture's operation instructions carefully before operation with tester.
Follow the instructions of the Service Manual. Be sure that the battery built in a tester is fully
charged and check the meter before inspection using the tester.
