8. To prevent objects or debris from
falling into the engine cover all
openings.
9. Read each procedure thoroughly
and compare the illustrations to the
actual components before starting
the procedure.
10. Recommendations are occasionally
made to refer service to a dealership
or specialist. In these cases, the
work can be performed more
economically by the specialist than
by the home mechanic.
11. The term replaces means to discard
a defective part and replace it with a
new part. Overhaul means to
remove, disassemble, inspect,
measure, repair and/or replace parts
as required to recondition an
assembly.
12. Some operations require using a
hydraulic press. If a press is not
available, have these operations
performed by a shop equipped with
the necessary equipment. Do not
use makeshift equipment that may
damage the UTV.
13. Repairs are much faster and easier if
the UTV is clean before starting
work. Degrease the motorcycle with
a commercial degreaser; follow the
directions on the container for the
best results. Clean all parts with
cleaning solvent when removing
them.
CAUTION
Do not direct high pressure water
at steering bearings, fuel hoses,
wheel bearings, suspension and
electrical components. Water may
force grease out of the bearings
and possibly damage the seals.
14. If special tools are required, have
them available before starting the
procedure. When special tools are
required, they are described at the
beginning of the procedure.
15. Make diagrams of similar-appearing
parts. For instance, crankcase bolts
are often not the same lengths. Do
not rely on memory alone. Carefully
laid out parts can become disturbed,
making it difficult to reassemble the
components correctly.
16. Make sure all shims and washers
are reinstalled in the same location
and position.
17. Whenever rotating parts contact a
18. stationary part, look for a shim or
washer.
19. Use new gaskets if there is any
doubt about the condition of old
ones.
20. If using self-locking fasteners,
replace them with new ones. Do not
install standard fasteners in place of
self-locking ones.
