Precaution [12/2019 - ]

  1. PRECAUTION 
    1. Before disassembling the transfer assembly, thoroughly clean it to remove any foreign matter. This will help prevent contamination inside the transfer during disassembly and reassembly.
    2. Always arrange removed parts in the order they were removed and protect them from foreign matter.
    3. Before installation of each part, thoroughly clean and dry it. Then apply grease or oil as necessary. Do not use alkaline chemicals to clean aluminum parts, rubber parts or precoated bolts. Also, do not use non-residue solvent or other cleaning oils to clean O-rings, oil seals or rubber parts.
    4. Do not directly fix a part in a vise. Place aluminum plates between the part and vise.
    5. Do not allow scratches on surfaces which contact oil seals or gaskets. Scratches may lead to oil leakage.
    6. When press-fitting an oil seal, be careful not to damage the lip of the oil seal and its periphery and be sure not to press it in at an angle.
    7. Replace bolts if the threads are significantly rusty.
