• After overhaul refill the transfer with new transfer oil.

• Check the oil level or replace the oil only with the vehicle parked on level surface.

• During removal or installation, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.

• Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tires of the proper size and the same brand and pattern. Fitting improper size and unusual wear tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism and can cause longitudinal vibration.

• Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.

• Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

• All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.

• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them with a new one if necessary.

• Gaskets, seals, O-rings and lock nuts should be replaced any time when the transfer is disassembled.

• In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tightening sequence is specified, use it.

• Observe the specified torque when assembling.

• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.

• Never damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

• Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation of the transfer.
