HOW TO USE YOUR SERVICE MANUAL Refer to the table below for the content layout of this manual. PREPARATION FOR SERVICE | PART NUMBER | TOOL NAME | | --- | --- | | HD-48650 | DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II | Stop the engine when refueling or servicing 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. Start each job with a clean work area. This will allow the repair to proceed as smoothly as possible. It will also reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. Clean a motorcycle that is excessively dirty before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover sources of trouble. Gather any tools, instruments and any parts needed for the job before work begins. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a distraction and causes needless delay. NOTES • To avoid unnecessary disassembly, carefully read all related service information before repair work begins. • 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-Davidson Smart Security System (H-DSSS), it must first be disarmed. Keep the fob close to the vehicle or use DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II (Part No. HD-48650) to disable the system. Activate the system after service is completed.
