5. Fig. O-7 and O-8 show how to lift the car by
using a hoist.
WARNING:
l When using frame contact hoist, apply
hoist as shown below (right and left at
the same position), Lift up the car till 4
tires are a little off the ground and make
sure that the car will not fall off by try-
ing to move car body in both ways. Work
can be started only after this confirma-
tion.
l Before applying hoist to underbody,
always take car balance throughout serv-
ice into consideration. Car balance on
hoist may change depending of what
part to be removed.
lFor suspention parts removal, follow pre-
vious steps 3 and 4.
l Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after
car is hoisted up.
When using frame contact hoist:
6. Orderliness is a key to successful overhauling.
Trays, pans and shelves are needed to set
aside disassembled parts in groups or sets
in order to avoid confusion and misplace-
ment. This is particularly important for
engine overhauling.
7. Have on hand liquid packing-SUZUKI
BOND No. 1215 (99000-31110) - for
ready use. This packing dope is an essential
item to assure leak-free (water and oil) work-
manship.
8. Each bolt must be put back to where it was
taken from or for which it is intended. Do
not depend on your hunch in tightening
bolts for which tightening torque values are
specified: be sure to use torque wrenches on
those bolts.
9. It is advisable to discard and scrap gaskets
and “0” rings removed in disassembly. Use
new ones in reassembly, and try not to
econimize gaskets and “0” rings.
10. Use of genuine SUZUKI parts is imperative.
Use of imitation parts is a big gamble on
safetyand performance. Use genuine
SUZUKI parts and live up to the trust your
customer places on you.
11. Special tools save time and ensure good
workmanship: They are available from
SUZUKI. Use them where their use is
specified. Moreover, your own safety is
assured by the use of special tools in many
of the disassembly and reassembly steps.
