INFORMATION ABOUT COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PART REPLACEMENT
Before carrying out any replacement, ac-
tivate all safety devices and evaluate the 
need to inform the personnel working on 
the engine or nearby. In particular, place 
proper signs in the nearby areas and 
keep away all devices which, once acti-
vated, may represent a source of unex-
pected danger and risk for people’s safety 
and health. When necessary, replace the 
worn components, and use original spare 
parts only. The manufacturer cannot be 
held responsible for damages to people 
or components resulting from the use of 
non original spare parts and from repairs 
carried out without the authorisation of the 
manufacturer.
When requesting spare parts, always 
contact your nearest VM MOTORI 
S.P.A. spare parts dealer (see “Enclosed 
documentation”: Spare parts and service 
centre address booklet) and indicate the 
engine’s serial number (see “Manufactu-
rer and engine identication”).
