EXAMPLE:
Installed pad number = 148
Rounded off value = 150
NOTE:
Pads can only be selected in 0.05 mm incre-
ments.
Locate the rounded-off value and the
measured valve clearance in the chart
“PAD SELECTION TABLE”. The field
where these two coordinates intersect
shows the new pad number to use.
NOTE:
Use the new pad number only as a guide
when verifying the valve clearance adjust-
ment.
Install the new pads 6 and the valve lift-
ers 7.
NOTE:
Apply the engine oil on the valve lifters.
Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
valve stem ends.
Valve lifter must turn smoothly when
rotated with a finger.
Be careful to reinstall valve lifters and
pads in their original place.
Install the camshafts (exhaust and intake),
the timing chain and the camshaft caps.

Unvorschriftsmäßig → Ein-
stellen.
HINWEIS:
Den Reifenluftdruck bei kalten Rei-
fen kontrollieren.
Bei zu niedrigem Reifendruck liegt
die Reifenwulst nicht fest an, was
dazu führen kann, daß sich der
Reifen von der Felge löst.
Ein geneigter Reifenventilschaft
deutet an, daß der Reifen ver-
rutscht ist.
Bei geneigtem Reifenventilschaft

PNEUS
1. Mesurer:
Pression des pneus
Hors spécification → Régler.
N.B.:
Vérifier le pneu alors qu’il est froid.
Des butées de bourrelet lâches permet-
tent au pneu de se détacher de sa posi-
tion sur la jante lorsque la pression des
pneus est basse.
Une tige de soupape de pneu inclinée
indique que le pneu se détache de sa
position sur la jante.
Si la tige de soupape de pneu est incli-
née, le pneu a tendance à se détacher
de sa position. Corriger la position du

NOTA:
Compruebe el neumático cuando esté frío.
Afloje los topes reforzados permitiendo
que se pueda retirar el neumático de su
posición en la llanta cuando la presión
de aire de los neumáticos sea baja.
Un vástago de la válvula del neumá-
tico inclinado indica que el neumático
se sale de su posición en la llanta.
Si detecta que el vástago de la válvula
del neumático está inclinado, debe
considerar que el neumático se ha
salido de su posición en la llanta.
Corrija su posición.

BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
Skin — Wash with water.
Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
CAUTION:
Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
