Only qualified and designated personnel must perform
inspections, repairs and adjustments.

Always keep the workplace clean, and store tools neatly in
specified places.
Safe Operation
•
Do not run engines inside the workshop without proper
ventilation (ex. no ventilation ducts).
•
Keep the workshop well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when flammable or
poisonous materials such as gasoline are handled.
•
Discard waste oil after oil changes or parts treatment in
accordance with local laws and regulations.
•
Be careful of burns and injury when working on high-
temperature parts, rotating parts, or sliding portions.
•
When working in a pit or enclosed area, ensure that adequate
ventilation is provided for discharging any hazardous emissions.

Always use rectangular wood blocks at the prescribed points to
support the vehicle.

Support it at the prescribed points and lock it in position with
safety devices before lifting the vehicle.
•
When removing a heavy component such as the engine and
vehicle side, be careful the vehicle body does not become off-

objects may cause electric short.
•
Before starting repair work that requires no battery power,
always turn OFF the ignition switch, and disconnect the
negative battery cable.

appropriate commercial service tools and specified STs
wherever required.
