IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EAS2GC1020PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DIS-
ASSEMBLY
1. Before the jobs, completely remove mud, dust, and the like in order to prevent the en-
try of them into the inside during the jobs.
• Before cleaning with high-pressure water of washers, cover the following parts.
Air duct
Silencer exhaust port
Drain hole on the cylinder head (right side)
Hole under the water pump housing
2. Use proper special tools and equipment. See “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. During disassembly, check and measure the required parts, and make a record of them
so that you may refer to the record when in-
stalling them. Moreover, arrange gears, cyl-
inders, pistons, and other parts for each
section so as not to confuse or lose them. 4. During disassembly, clean each of the parts,
and store them in trays for each section.
5. Flammable. Keep servicing areas away from any source of fire.
6. During servicing, take special care not to re-
ceive an injury or a burn on the engine, the
exhaust pipe, the silencer, or the like.
7. If coolant is left adhered to the chassis, paint
and plating will be damaged. Therefore,
rinse it out with water in good time.
