We hold lengthy comments on MZ motor-cycles to be unnecessary. In the high latitudes of Finland and, in the parching heat of Africa, under the most different operating conditions these motor-cycles run to the satisfaction of their owners.

To ensure that the vehicle remains in perfect working order and reliable in service after a long period of operation, involving a certain amount of wear, we issue this Repair Manual to give the necessary instructions to our MZ-Workshops at home and abroad.

Repair work is a matter of confidence in several respects:
      Reliability and workmanship of the mechanics; the safety of the driver depends on them.
      Finding the actual cause of the trouble; this ensures that no material is wasted and labour costs are restricted to a minimum.
      From these items result: no retouching work, short times of inoperation and low repair costs.

A good workmanship in repairs largely depends on the use of the special tools and means recommended by MZ. We should like to underline that especially self-service workshops and amateur constructors should bear this in mind to avoid considerable additional etpenditure of labour und material due to false avoid considerable additional expenditure of labour und material due to false optimism.

Our MZ-Workshops may purchase the special tools from the MZ Spare Sales Department  -  for home-mechanics, however, there is only the possibiliy of constructing them with the help of the sketches given in a supplement to this booklet.

We hope this Reference Book offers the required information to the staffs of the workshops contracted for servicing our products at home and abroad, and to the friends of MZ motor-cycles throughout the world; and we wish good success to each and all.
