Description PrecautionsForHandling HighStrength Steel

• Alldimensions indicatedinfigures areactual ones.
• When usingatracking gauge,adjustbothpointers toequal length. Thencheck thepointers andgauge
itself tomake surethere isno free play.
• When ameasuring tapeisused, check tobe sure there isno elongation, twistingorbending.
• Measurements shouldbetaken atthe center ofthe mounting holes.
• Anasterisk

•
The electrode tipdiameter mustbereformed
properly according tothe panels thickness.
•
The spot ungget onHSS panel isharder than
that ofan ordinary steelpanel.
Therefore, forspot cutting HSSpanel, ahigh
torque drillofalow speed (1,000 to1,200
rpm) maybeused tomaintain itsdurability
and facilitate theoperation.
• HSS panels withatensile strength of785 to981 N/mm

(80to100 kg/mm
2,
114to142 klb/sq in),
used asreinforcement inthe door guard barand inthe bumper, istoo high intensile strength touse
for general repairs.Whenthesepanels aredamaged, theouter panels alsosustain consequential
damage; therefore, thesepanels arenever remedied withoutreplacing thedoor assembly orbumper
assembly.

Checking
BrakeLine

CAUTION: If leakage occursaround joints,retighten or,ifnecessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brakelines(tubes andhoses) forcracks, deteriora-
tion orother damage. Replaceanydamaged parts.
2. Check foroilleakage byfully depressing brakepedalwhile
engine isrunning.

Changing BrakeFluid

CAUTION:
• Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT 4".
• Always keepfluidlevel higher thanminimum lineonreser-
voir tank.
• Never reusedrained brakefluid.
• Donot mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
• Becareful nottosplash brakefluidonpainted areas;itmay •
cause paintdamage. Ifbrake fluidissplashed onpainted :•
areas, washitaway withwater immediately.
1. Clean inside ofreservoir tank,andrefill withnewbrake
fluid.
2. Connect avinyl tubetoeach airbleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluidfrom each airbleeder valvebydepressing
brake pedal.
4. Refill untilnewbrake fluidcomes outofeach airbleeder
valve.
Use same procedure asinbleeding hydraulic systemto
refill brake fluid.
Refer to"Bleeding Procedure", BR-6.
