SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
WARNING
• Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged period. Although this is unlikely
unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as
possible after handling used oil.
• If the engine is running to do some work, make sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed area. The
exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an enclosed area.

• This section covers service of the oil pump.

• The oil pump can be serviced with the engine installed on the frame.
• The service procedure in the section must be performed with the engine oil drained.
• Always lubricate the oil pump components with clean engine oil before assembling the oil pump.
• When removing and installing the oil pump, care to be taken to avoid dust or dirt entry into the engine.
• If any portion of the oil pump is worn beyond the specified service limits, replace the oil pump as an assembly.
