Begin disassembly by removing the cylinder cover–locate the three 6mm bolts securing it. Use a torque wrench set to 8 Nm for reinstallation, as overtightening risks stripping threads in the magnesium alloy housing. Label each bolt: two short (15mm) near the fuel line grommet, one long (22mm) adjacent to the recoil starter. Misidentification during reassembly causes improper sealing and compression leaks.
