A: NOTE
This information will improve the efficiency of main-
tenance and assure that the finished work is of a
good quality.
1. FASTENERS NOTICE
Fasteners must be tightened to the specified
torque.
Do not apply paint, lubricant, rust retardant or other
substance to the surface around bolts, nuts, etc.
Doing so will make it difficult to obtain the correct
torque and result in looseness and other problem.
2. STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE
Always touch grounded metal for the elimination of
static electricity before conducting work.
3. BATTERY
When removing the battery cables, always be sure
to turn the ignition switch to OFF.
4. SERVICE PARTS
Use genuine parts for maximum performance and
maintenance when conducting repairs. Subaru/FHI
will not be responsible for poor performance result-
ing from the use of parts except for genuine parts.
5. PROTECTING VEHICLE UNDER
MAINTENANCE
Make sure to attach the fender cover, seat covers,
etc. before work.
6. ENSURING SECURITY DURING WORK
When working in a group of two or more, perform
the work with calling each other to ensure mutual
safety.
Note
7. LIFT AND JACK
When using a lift or shop jack to raise a vehicle or
using rigid rack to support a vehicle, always follow
instructions concerning jack-up points and weight
limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which
could result in injury. Be especially careful that the
vehicle is balanced before raising it. Be sure to set
the wheel stoppers when jacking-up only the front
or rear side of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Not to let the side sill cover interfere with the lift
arm, use a lift attachment.
NOTE:
• When using a lift, follow its operation manual be-
fore work.
• When using, insert the body flange to the attach-
ment groove.
• When the side sill cover contacts the lift arm, use
a lift attachment.
• Do not work or leave unattended while the vehi-
cle is supported with jack, support it with rigid
racks.
• Be sure to use the rigid racks with rubber at-
tached to cradle to support the vehicle.
• When using a plate lift, use a rubber attachment.
