These precautions are not described in each individual section. 1. Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without proper exhaust ventilation. Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any in: flammable materials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials. Do not smoke while working on the vehicle. 2. Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving, After jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at the points designated for proper lifting and towing before working on the vehicle. These operations should be done on a level surface. 3. When removing a heavy component such as the engine or transaxle/transmission, take care not to lose your balance and drop it. Also, do not allow it to hit against adjacent parts, especially brake tube and brake master cylinder. 4. Before starting repairs which do not require battery power, always turn off the ignition switch, then disconnect the ground cable from the battery to prevent accidental short circuit. 5. To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe and muffler. ‘Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.PRECAUTIONS Fender cover sei2sa so1291 6. To prevent scratches and soiling, protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers before starting servic- ing. Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons on your person do not scratch the paint. 7. Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly. 8. Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. as instructed and discard used ones, 9. Tapered roller bearings and needle bearings should be re- placed as a set of inner and outer races. 10. Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence. 11. Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which utilize microcomputers such as electronic control units. Static electrical charges stored in your body may damage internal electronic components. 12. After disconnecting vacuum hose or air hose, attach tag which indicates the proper connection to prevent incorrect connection 13. Use only the lubricants specified in the applicable section or those indicated under “Recommended Fuel and Lubricants”. 14. Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required. 15, The use of the proper tools and recommended essential tools should be used where specified for proper, safe and efficient service repairs. 16. When effecting repairs on the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, make certain to check all affected lines for leaks. 17. Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner. Precaution for E.F.1. or E.C.C.S. Engine 1. Before connecting or disconnecting E.F.|. or E.C.C.S. harness connector to or from any E.F.l. or E.C.C.S. unit, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position and discon- nect the negative battery terminal. Otherwise, there may be damage to control unit. 2. Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure to eliminate danger. 3. Be careful not to jar components such as control unit and air flow meter. GI-3Clean floor PRECAUTIONS Precautions for a Catalyst If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the converter, the converter temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this, follow the procedure below. 1. Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the catalytic converter, 2. When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine com: pression, make tests quickly and only when necessary. 3. Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire causing damage to the converter. 4. Do not place the vehicle on inflammable material. Keep inflammable material off the exhaust pipe. GI-4HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL 1. A QUICK REFERENCE INDEX, a black tab (e.g. EEN) is provided on the first page.
