mounted.

contact with engine oil can be damaging to your health.

Wipe up any spilled oil from the floor immediately in order to
avoid injuries from slipping.
Do not use tools that are worn or fit poorly on nuts and bolts
and so on.
+ Always work on a clean work surface.
+ Always work in a logical manner in order to be sure that all
components are correctly attached and that nuts and bolts
are tightened.
+ Use special tools where recommended in order to work
correctly.
