General recommendations
Keep this in mind:
– Do not start the engine without the clutch and clutch drum fitted.
– Do not touch hot parts such as the silencer and clutch before
they have cooled sufficiently to avoid burn injuries.
– Avoid getting petrol on bare skin or in the mouth.
– Wipe up spilled oil immediately from the floor to avoid slipping
and subsequent injury.
– Do not use tools which are worn or fit badly, e.g. nuts and
screws.
– Never start the engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are toxic!
+ Always work on a tidy work bench.
+ Always work methodically to be sure that all parts are correctly
assembled and that screws and nuts are tightened.
+ Use protective cream on your hands. It reduces the risk of
infection and enables dirt to be more easily washed off.
Prolonged contact with motor oil can be hazardous to health.
+ Use special tools when so recommended in order to work
correctly.
Fire hazard
Handle petrol with respect since it is highly inflammable.
Do not smoke and make sure that there are no naked flames or
sparks in the vicinity.
Make sure that there is a functioning fire extinguisher in the vicinity.
Do not attempt to extinguish a petrol fire with water.
Toxic fumes
Read the instructions carefully when using cleaning liquids.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation when handling petrol,
trichloroethylene and other viscous liquids.
The engine exhaust fumes are toxic. T est run the engine only when
there is good ventilation, preferably outdoors.
Special tools
Some work operations in this workshop manual require the use
of special tools. In each section where this is appropriate the tool
and order number are illustrated.
We recommend the use of special tools partly to avoid personal
injury and partly to eliminate expensive damage to the
components in question.
Sealing surfaces and gaskets
Make sure that all sealing surfaces are clean and free from the
residue of old gaskets. Use a tool which will not damage the
sealing surface when cleaning it. Scratches and irregularities
are removed with a fine, float cut file.
Sealing rings
Always replace a sealing ring which has been dismantled. The
sensitive sealing lip can easily be damaged and result in poor
sealing capacity. The surface which the seal seals must also be
completely undamaged. Lubricate the sealing lip with grease
before it is fitted and make sure that it is not damaged, e.g. by
shoulder and splines on a shaft. Use tape or conical sleeve as
protection. It is important that the sealing ring is correctly turned
for it to function as intended.
The engine exhaust from this product
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
