SCREWS OR LONGER SCREWS COULD PUNCTURE THE TANK AND CAUSE FUEL TO LEAK OUT.
– IF YOU DISCONNECT SOCKET CONNECTORS WITH SELF-LOCKING NUTS, REPLACE THEM BEFORE REMOUNTING. IF NO NEW
SELF-LOCKING NUTS ARE AVAILABLE, APPLY LOCTITE 243 TO THE THREAD OF THE OLD NUTS. IF THE THREAD IS DAMAGED,
REPLACE THE SCREWS AND NUTS.
– DO NOT USE TOOTHED DISKS OR SPLIT WASHERS FOR THE ENGINE FASTENING BOLTS SINCE THEY WILL WORK THEIR WAY
INTO THE FRAME COMPONENTS AND BECOME LOOSE. ALWAYS USE SELF-LOCKING NUTS.
