Separation — Continued Use care to avoid damage to powerplant components during disassembly, cleaning, inspection, repair, and assembly. Nicks, scratches, and dents, resulting from careless handling, may cause oil leakage or improper functioning. This could result in transmission failure. All defective parts must be replaced. To prevent damage to equipment, handle heavy components with slings and hooks and block transmission for support in required positions. 1 Attach sling to hoist.

Ensure that transmission support at transfer assembly will prevent transmission from rolling when engine is disconnected. 2 Remove six screws (2), six flat washers (3), and six Iockwashers (4) from tie bar (5) at transmission (6). Discard Iockwashers. NOTE Record length of screws upon removal. ENGINE MODEL 7083-7391 SHOWN 4-16
