THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON ENGINE SERVICE
SHOULD BE NOTED CAREFULLY, AS IT IS IMPORTANT IN PRE-
VENTING DAMAGE, AND IN CONTRIBUTING TO RELIABLE EN-
GINE PERFORMANCE.
D When raising or supporting engine for any reason, do not use a
jack under oil pan. Due to small clearance between oil pan and
oil pump strainer, jacking against oil pan may cause it to be bent
against strainer resulting in damaged oil pick-up unit.
D It should be kept in mind, while working on engine, that 12-volt
electrical system is capable of violent and damaging short cir-
cuits.
When performing any work where electrical terminals could poss-
ibly be grounded, ground cable of the battery should be discon-
nected at battery.
D Any time the air cleaner, air cleaner outlet hose, throttle body,
surge tank pipe, intake collector or intake manifold is removed,
the intake opening should be covered. This will protect against
accidental entrance of foreign material which could follow intake
passage into cylinder and cause extensive damage when engine
is started.
D When disconnecting couplers, don't pull wire harness but make
sure to hold coupler itself. With lock type coupler, be sure to un-
lock before disconnection. Attempt to disconnect coupler without
unlocking may result in damage to coupler. When connecting lock
type coupler, insert it till clicking sound is heard and connect it se-
curely.
