 PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION

Precautions
+ When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be car-
ried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
+ Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
