Caution:

  • - To avoid damaging painted surfaces, cover the front fenders with protective covers.
  • - Be careful when disconnecting hoses; do not spill oil or other liquids.
  • - Cap disconnected pipes or hoses to prevent foreign particles from getting inside.

Note: When disconnecting hoses, always make alignment marks first so that the hoses are in their original position when reconnecting.
