1984 MITSUBISHI MONTERO Workshop Manual

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
WIRING HARNESES
1. Secure the wiring harnesses by using clamps so that there
is no slack. However, for any harness which passes to the
engine or other vibrating parts of the vehicle;allow some
slack within a range that does not allow the engine vibra-
tions to cause the harness to come into contact with any
of the surrounding parts. Then secure the harness. by
using a clamp.
In addition, if a mounting indication mark (yellow tape)
is on a harness, secure the indication mark in the speci-
fied location. (C 1638 1)
2. If any section of a wiring harness contacts the edge
of a part, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness
with tape or something similar in order to protect it
from damage.
3. When using a circuit tester to perform continuity or volt-
age checks on connector terminals, insert the test probe
from the harness side.
If the connector is a sealed connector, insert the test
probe into the hole in the rubber cap for the electrical
wires, being careful not to damage the wire insulation.
Continue to insert the test probe until it makes contact
with the terminal.
4. When disconnecting a connector, be sure to pull only the
connector, not the harness.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
2. Sensors, relays, etc., are sensitive to strong impacts.
Handle them with care so that they are not dropped or,
mishandled.
3. The electronic parts used for relays, etc., are sensitive to
heat. If any service which causes a temperature of 80°C
(176’F) or more is performed, remove the part or parts
in question before carrying out the service,
FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS
1. If a blown-out fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use only
a fuse of the specified capacity. If a fuse of a capacity
larger than that specified is used, parts may be damaged
and the circuit may not be protected adequately.
2. If additional optional equipment is to be installed in the
vehicle, follow the procedure listed in the appropriate
instruction manual; however, be sure to pay careful
attention to the following points:
(1) In order to avoid overloading the wiring, take the
electrical current load of the optional equipment into
consideration, and determine the appropriate wire
size.
(2) Where possible, route the wiring through the existing
harnesses.
(3) If an ammeter or similar instrument is to be con-
nected to a live-wire circuit, use tape to protect the
wire, use. a clamp to secure the wire, and make sure
that there is no contact with any other parts.
(4) Be sure to provide a fuse for the load circuit of the
optional equipment.

Be careful to avoid spilling any gasoline, oil, etc., because if it
adheres to any tubes or other rubber parts, they might be ad-

TOWING AND HOISTING
TOWING AND HOISTING
The MONTERO can only be towed from the front with
conventional sling-type equipment and tow chain &th
grab hooks.
If a vehicle is towed from the rear, use a tow dolly.
A lumber spacer (4” x 4” x 55” wood beam) should be
placed forward of under guard and under towing hook/
shipping tie down hook.
Then, attach J-hook to the lower arm.
A safety chain system must be used. This system must be
completely independent of the primary lifting and’ towing
attachment. Care must be taken in the installation of safety
chains to insure they do not cause damage to bumper,
painted surfaces or lights.
Lifting-Ground Clearance
Towed vehicle should be raised until wheels are a minimum
of 10 cm (4 in.) from the ground. Be sure there is
adequate ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle,
especially when towing over rough terrain or when crossing
sharp rises such as curbs. If necessary, ground clearance can
be increased by removing the wheels from the lifted end of
the disabled vehicle and carrying the lifted end closer, to the
ground. A 20 cm (8 in.) ground clearance must be maintained
between brake drums and ground.
Front Towing Pickup
The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended
distances, provided the parking brake is released.
Make certain the transmission remains in “NEUTRAL”.
Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be taken when towing the
vehicle.
1. Remove exhaust tips and any other optional equipment,
that interface with the towing sling. Padding (heavy shop
towel or carpeting) should be placed between the towing
sling cross bar and any painted surfaces, and bumper
surfaces.
2. A safety chain system completely independent of the pri-
mary lifting and towing attachment must be used.
3. Any loose or protruding parts of damaged vehicle such as
hoods, doors, fenders, trim, etc., should be secured prior
to moving the vehicle.
4. Operator should refrain from going under a vehicle unless
the vehicle is adequately supported by safety stands.
5. Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle.
6. State and local rules and regulations must be followed
when towing a vehicle.

TOWING AND HOISTING
HOISTING
Post Type
Special care should be taken when raising the vehicle on a
frame contact type hoist. The hoist. must be equipped with
the proper adapters in order to support the vehicle at the
proper locations. (See next page)
Conventional hydraulic hoists may be used after determining
that the adapter plates will make firm contact with the side
frame.
Floor Jack
A regular floor jack may be used under the front cross-
member or rear axle housing.
Caution
1. A floor jack must never be used on any ‘part of the
underbody.
2. Do not attempt to raise one entire side of the vehicle by
pIacing a jack midway between front and rear wheels.
This practice may result in permalient damage to the
body.
Emergency Jacking .
Jack receptacles are located at the front crossmember and
rear axle housing to accept the jack supplied with the vehicle
for emergency road service. Always block the opposite
wheels and jack only on a level surface.
