Before Servicing

Circlips, Cotter Pins

Replace circlips or cotter pins that were removed with new ones. Take care not to open the clip excessively when in- stalling to prevent deformation.

Lubrication

It is important to lubricate rotating or sliding parts during assembly to minimize wear during initial operation. Lubri- cation points are called out throughout this manual, apply the specific oil or grease as specified.

Direction of Engine Rotation

When rotating the crankshaft, by hand, the free play amount of rotating direction will affect the adjustment. Ro- tate the crankshaft to positive direction (counter-clockwise viewed from stern sinde).

Electrical Wires

A two-color wire is identified first by the primary color and then the stripe color. Unless instructed otherwise, electrical wires must be connected to those of the same color.
