REMOVING Removing    
DANGER Risk of explosion  caused by oxyhydrogen gas. Risk of poisoning and caustic burns  caused by swallowing battery acid. Risk of injury  caused by burns to skin and eyes from battery acid or when handling damaged lead-acid batteries No fire, sparks, open flames or smoking. Wear acid-resistant gloves, clothing and safety glasses. Only pour battery acid into suitable and appropriately marked containers. AS54.10-Z-0001-01A
1 Disconnect battery ground cable NOTES Do not connect quiescent current retention device otherwise this may cause damage to the control unit.

NOTES Notes on battery All models AH54.10-P-0001-01A
2 Remove spark plugs IMPORTANT To ensure that the engine can be easily cranked when drawing in the timing chain, and to avoid the timing chain jumping across. Remove only once spark plug of each cylinder.

Model 163.174 AR20.40-P-5000GH
5 Position engine to 40° after TDC of first cylinder. IMPORTANT Engine must not be cranked backwards. The notches of the camshafts must be pointing in the direction of the inner V.  
It must be possible to easily insert the two locking plates.  
If this is not possible: ↓  
Set the basic position of camshafts AR05.20-P-6020AU 
IMPORTANT The copper plates of the timing chain must be aligned with the scribe marks on the camshaft sprockets.  
Owing to the unevenly long paths of the timing chain it may be necessary to crank the engine as many as 14 times till the copper plates get aligned with the scribe marks on the camshaft sprockets.  
IMPORTANT On vehicles equipped with an air pump, the combination valve must be unbolted before the right locking plate is inserted.  
IMPORTANT Installation: Replace combination valve gasket.
