Fire risk

Handle petrol with respect, since it is highly flammable.

Do not smoke and ensure that there are no open flames or sparks in the vicinity.

Make sure that there is a functioning fire extinguisher in the vicinity.

Do not try to extinguish a petrol fire with water.

Poisonous fumes

When using cleaning fluids, read the instructions carefully.

Make sure that ventilation is good when handling petrol, trichlo- roethylene and other highly volatile liquids.

The engine exhaust is poisonous. Test run the engine only if ventilation is good. Preferably outside.

!WARNING!

Risk of personal injury if the instructions are not followed.

Sealing faces and gaskets

Make sure that all sealing faces are clean and free from old gasket remnants. Use a tool that will not damage the sealing face when it is cleaned. Any scratches and irregularities should be removed with a fine, float-cut file.

Sealing rings

Always change a sealing ring once it has been dismounted. The sensitive sealing lips can be easily damaged with poor sealing ability as a result. The surfaces that the seal is to tighten against must also be completely free from damage. Lubricate the sealing lip with grease before it is attached and make sure that it is not damaged by such things as the collars and splines on an axle. Use tape or a conical bushing as protection. It is important that the sealing ring is turned correctly in order for it to function as intended.

NOTE!

Material damage may occur if the instructions are not followed.
