Warning: Compressed air can pierce skin and cause severe injury. Never use your hands to check for leaks or to determine air flow rates. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes from flying dirt and debris.

Inspect water pump for cracks or corrosion

Use P/N 301060C when ordering a new housing

CAUTION: Never remove the crankshaft counterweights from the crankshaft. The crankshaft is balanced at the factory with the counterweights attached.

Crankshaft removed from the engine?

Set screws removed from the crankshaft?

Cleaning solution flushed through oil passages?

Crankshaft dried with compressed air after removal from hot tank?

Crankshaft coated with a thin coat of oil to prevent surface oxidation?

Loctite® 242 applied to set screw threads?

Set screws tightened until three threads show below crankshaft surface?

The frequency of inspection is determined largely by the type of operating conditions. High speed operation, high temperatures and dust and dirt all increase the wear of coupling sleeve and bearings.

CAUTION: Do not weld on or around an engine unless the CEC generator and voltage regulator have been unplugged. Failure to do so may damage the CEC generator, voltage regulator, battery or Ignition Module.

CAUTION: The ambient temperature around the CEC generator and voltage regulator must not exceed 150° F (66° C). Disregarding this information could result in product damage and/or personal injury.

Enter the current operating hours of the generator

Is the operating hours of the generator more than 4000?

If the operating hours of the generator is more than 4000, replace the coupling.

Upload a photo of the replaced coupling

CAUTION: Do not sand blast or glass bead pistons. Sand and glass bead blasting removes the tin plating and rounds off the ring lands. Disregarding this information could result in product damage.

CAUTION: Do not place pistons in any type of caustic hot bath. Caustic solutions will dissolve aluminum and the tin plating may blister or warp if heated to temperatures above 212° F (100° C).

WARNING: Use only non-flammable cleaning solvents. Do not use gasoline. Disregarding this information could result in severe personal injury or death.

New pistons are coated with an anti-corrosive film used for storage protection. Before installing new pistons into the engine remove this protective film.

Dry pistons with compressed air, coat with clean engine oil and assemble into engine immediately.

CAUTION: Exercise care to avoid scratching the sides of the piston ring grooves. Disregarding this information could result in product damage.

Remove carbon deposits by washing pistons in cleaning solution or detergent.

Use a ring groove cleaner to remove carbon deposits from piston ring grooves.

Clean oil drain notches located in oil control ring groove.
