Seal Lock Adhesive
CORRECT
Precoated Parts
Precoated parts are bolts and nuts, etc. Which are coated
with ? seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(a) lf a precoated part is tightened, loosened or caused to
move in any way, it must be recoated with the
specified adhesive.
(b) Recoating of Precoated Parts
(1) Clean off the old adhesive from the bolt, nut or
installation part threads.
(21 Dry with compressed air.
(3) Apply the specified seal lock adhesive to the bolt
or nut threads.
(c) Precoated parts are indicated in the component illus-
trations by the "*" symbol.
When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks.
Carefully observe all specifications for bolt tightening
torques. Always use a torque wrench.
Use of special service tools (SST) and special service
materials (SSM) may be required depending on the nature
of the repair. Be sure to use SST and SSM where specified
and follow the proper work procedure. A list of SST and
SSM can be found at the back of this manual.
When replacing fuses, be sure the new fuse is the correct
amperage rating. Do NoT exceed the fuse amp rating or
use one of a lower rating.
Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the proper
locations.
(a) lf the vehicle is to be jacked up only at the front or
rear end, be sure to block the wheels in order to
ensure safety.
(b) After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. lt is extremely dangerous to do any work on
the vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for a smalljob
that can be finished quickly.
12. Observe the following precautions to avoid damage the
parts:
(a) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull on the end, not the
middle of the hose.
(b) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(c) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such as
sensors or relays. lf they are dropped on a hard floor,
they should be replaced and not reused.
