1.
Before starting work, familiarize
yourself with the installation procedure
by reading all of theinstructions.
2.
The exploded view (Figure 1)
provides only general guidance. Refer
to each step and section diagram in
this manual for proper instruction.
3.
Throughout this manual, the left
side of the vehicle refers to the
driver’s side, and the right side to
the passenger’s side.
4.
Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.
5.
Route and tie wires and
hoses a minimum of 6” away from
exhaust heat, moving parts and sharp
edges. Clearance of 8” or more is
recommended where possible.
6.
When raising the vehicle, support
it on properly weight-rated safety
stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety
precautions. Take care to balance the
vehicle to prevent it from slipping or
falling. When using ramps, be sure the
front wheels are centered squarely on
the topsides; put the transmission
in park; set the hand brake; and
place blocks behind the rear wheels.
Caution! Do not use floor jacks
to sup-port the vehicle while
working under it. Do not raise
the vehicle onto concrete blocks,
masonry or any other item not
intended specifically for this use.
7.
During installation, keep the work
area clean. Do not allow anything to
be dropped into intake, exhaust, or
lubrication system components while
performing the installation, as foreign
objects will cause immediate engine
damage upon start-up.
