CAUTION:
- Replacement clutch pressure plates are greased and protected against corrosion. Only their friction surfaces are to be cleaned, as further cleaning will lead to corrosion and shorten service life.

- Assemble the clutch so that the flywheel dowel pins align with the bores/slots in the pressure plate, otherwise the TDC marking on the flywheel will be incorrect.

- Always refer to the engine code and engine number for replacement clutch discs and pressure plates.
