The two basic types of snap rings are machined and stamped snap rings.
Machined snap rings (Figure 2) can be installed in either direction. Because both faces
have sharp edges. Stamped snap rings (Figure 3) are manufactured with a sharp and
a round edge. When installing a stamped snap ring in a
thrust application, install the sharp edge facing away
from the part producing the thrust.
E-clips are used when it is not practical to use a
snap ring. Remove E-clips with a flat blade screwdriver
by prying between the shaft and E-clip. To install an E-
clip. Center it over the shaft groove and push or tap it
into place
Observe the following when installing snap rings:
1. Remove and install snap rings with snap rings pliers. Refer to Basic Tools in this
chapter
2. In some applications. it may be necessary to replace snap rings after removing
them
3. Compress or expand snap rings only enough to install them. If overly expanded.
Lose their retaining ability
4. After installing a snap ring. Make sure it seats completely
5. Wear eye protection when removing and installing snap rings

Lubricants and Fluids
Periodic lubrication help ensure a long service life for any type of equipment. Using
the correct type of lubricant is as important as performing the lubrication service.
Although in an emergency the wrong type is better than not using one, The following
section describes the types of lubricants most often required. Make sure to follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations for lubricant types
Engine oils
Engine oil for four-stroke the UTV engine use is classified by two standards: the
American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification. The Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) viscosity rating Standard classification
The API and SAE information is on all oil container labels. Two letters indicate the
API service classification. The number or sequence of numbers and letter (10W-40SG
for example) is the oil’s viscosity rating. The API service classification and the SAE
viscosity index are not indications of oil quality.
The APL service classification standards, The first letter in the classification S
indicates that the oil is for gasoline engines. The second letter indicates the standard
the oil satisfies .
The classifications are: MA (high friction applications) and MB( low frication
applications).
