HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual is intended as a handy, easy-to-read reference book for the mechanic.
Comprehensive explanations of all installation, removal, disassembly, assembly, repair and check
procedures are laid out with the individual steps in sequential order.
• The manual is divided into chapters and each chapter is divided into sections. The current section
title is shown at the top of each page “1”.
• Sub-section titles appear in smaller print than the section title “2”.
• To help identify parts and clarify procedure steps, there are exploded diagrams at the start of each
removal and disassembly section “3”.
• Numbers are given in the order of the jobs in the exploded diagram. A number indicates a disas-
sembly step “4”.
• Symbols indicate parts to be lubricated or replaced “5”.
Refer to SYMBOLS.
• A job instruction chart accompanies the exploded diagram, providing the order of jobs, names of
parts, notes in jobs, etc. “6”. This step explains removal procedure only. For installation, reverse
the steps.
• Jobs requiring more information (such as special tools and technical data) are described sequen-
tially “7”.
