Precautions PRECAUTIONS

NJSU0001 + When installing rubber parts, final tightening must be car- ried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushes. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil. *: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions. + After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary. SBR686C + Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake tubes. + Always torque brake lines when installing. + Lock nuts are unreusable parts; always use new ones. When replacing, do not wipe the oil off the new lock nut before tightening.
