SHOP MANUAL USE
Shop Manual Use
This manual contains all the technical information necessary for carrying out repairs on the
603GC cut-off saw. For safe, efficient work, it is of prime importance that the values indicated
be adhered to. Routine periodic maintenance is covered in the operator’s manual included
with each cut-off saw.
General Shop Rules
• Always use the right tools for the job, otherwise components may be damaged.
• Use a plastic dead blow mallet to separate parts attached solidly to each other.
• Mark mating parts as a reassembly reference.
• Keep component parts together as a group. Assemble screws and nuts into
appropriate subgroups.
• When reassembling, clean all parts carefully, lubricate moving parts and replace
all oil seals, o-rings, gaskets, washers and self-locking nuts.
• For best results, use only original ICS®replacement parts.
General Recommendations
• Some procedures in this manual require the use of special tools. A complete tool kit
for ICS®cut-off saws is available from ICS®.
• Detailed carburetor maintenance and overhaul information is available in Walbro’s
Diaphragm Carburetor Service Manual. Walbro can be contacted at http:\\www.walbro.com
