CAUTION:
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end is
3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0004WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.
Be sure to furnish workshop with a CO
2fire extinguisher.
Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
CAUTION:
Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely.
b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-34, “Fuel Pressure Release”.
c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
After installing tubes, run engine and check for fuel leaks at connections.

Checking Exhaust SystemNJFE0010Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing or deterioration.
Removal and InstallationNJFE0005CAUTION:
Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when
reassembling.
With engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
noise or vibration.
Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
Before installing a new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool and
apply anti-seize lubricant.
Do not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may
cause damage to the oxygen sensor, resuiting in the MIL
coming on.
Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts which are
designed especially for heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and shape.
Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully
cooled down because the system will be heated just after
the engine stops.
Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edge.
