PREPARATION FOR SERVICE PART NUMBER TOOL NAME HD-48650 DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II A wARNING Stop the engine when refueling or serv1cmg the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00002a) Good preparation is very important for efficient service work. A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible. and will reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. A motorcycle that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Tools. instruments and any parts needed for the job should be gathered before work is started . Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay. NOTES To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all rel- ative service information before repair work is started. In figure legends, the number which follows the name of a part indicates the quantity necessary for one complete assembly. When servicing a vehicle equipped with the Harley-Dav- idson Smart Security System (H-DSSS), you must first disarm the security system. Either keep the fob in close proximity to the vehicle, or use DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II (Part No . HD-48650) to disable the security system while the vehicle is being serviced. Activate the system after service is completed. SERVICE BULLETINS In addition to the information presented in this manual , Harley- Davidson Motor Company will periodically issue service bulletins to Harley-Davidson dealers. Service bulletins cover interim engineering changes and supplementary information. Consult the service bulletins to keep your product knowledge C current and complete. 0:: USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS 0 A wARNING 3: w 0:: Harley-Davidson parts and accessories are designed for 0 Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
