Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
1. Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with-
out proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous 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 strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and 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
GI-2

Garage Jack and Safety Stand
WARNING:
INever get under the vehicle while it is supported only by
the jack. Always use safety stands when you have to get
under the vehicle.
IPlace wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels
on the ground, and apply handbrake where appropriate.
IDo not start the engine while the vehicle is supported only
by the jack.

LIFTING POINTS AND TOW TRUCK TOWING
GI-32

4-pole Lift
WARNING:
Do not use a 2-pole lift.
Due to weight balance of the vehicle and shape of underbody,
lift arms can not be attached in a safe way. Therefore it is rec-
ommended to use a 4-pole lift only.
Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
IAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
IIt is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during a towing operation.
IAttach safety chains for all towing.
IWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
IWhen towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Move both the gearshift and transfer levers to neutral (ªNº
position).
Turn the ignition key to the ªOFFº position and secure the
steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ªLOCKº
position. This will result in damage to the steering lock
mechanism.
IWhen towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release
the parking brake and move both the gearshift and trans-
fer levers to neutral (ªNº position).
INever tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four
wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transmission.
LIFTING POINTS AND TOW TRUCK TOWING
GI-33

NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated when tow-
ing 4-wheel drive models.
Towing with four wheels on ground or towing with front
(rear wheels on ground) or rear wheels (front wheels
on ground) raised
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Speed:
Below 50 km/h (30 MPH)
Distance:
Less than 65 km (40 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
front and rear propeller shafts beforehand to prevent damage to the
transmission.
TOWING POINT
IAlways pull the cable straight out from the vehicle. Never
pull on the hook at a sideways angle.
IUse proper towing equipment when towing. Otherwise, the
vehicle body will be damaged.
Front
IOnly R.H. hook may be used for towing purposes. Use L.H.
hook only for securing the vehicle during transportation.
Rear
IEither hook can be used for towing purposes.
A platform should be used.
