FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES

Always be sure to cover fenders, seats, and floor areas before starting work.

Be sure that all necessary tools and measuring equipment are available before starting any work.

Use special tools when they are required.

While correcting a problem, try also to determine its cause. Begin work only after first learning which parts and subassemblies must be removed and disassembled for replacement or repair. After removing the part, plug all holes and ports to prevent foreign material from entering.

If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring many parts to be disassembled, all parts should be disassembled in a way that will not affect their performance or external appearance and identified so that reassembly can be performed easily and efficiently.
