tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.

cle downward by carefully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:

During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with body side.

Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.

During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.

If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.Slinger bolts:

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-18, "Air Bleeding" .

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
