intervals of lubrication.
D109C518
FASTENERS
Notice: Dissimilar metals in direct contact with each
other may corrode rapidly. Make sure to use the correct
fasteners to prevent premature corrosion.
Many aluminum components are used on current models.
Aluminum in contact with steel may corrode rapidly if it is
not protected by special finishes or isolators.
The fasteners used have a special finish which provides
adequate protection from corrosion. These special fas-
teners differ in color in order to easily identify them from
the standard metric fasteners, which are medium blue in
color.
When replacing fasteners, avoid substituting otherwise
similar fasteners in the same location.
D109C519
ANTICORROSION MATERIALS
In order to provide rust resistance, anticorrosion materi-
als have been applied to the interior surfaces of most
of the metal panels. When you service these panels,
properly re-coat them with a service-type anticorrosion
material if any of the original material has been dis-
turbed.

FRONT END SEALING
All locations where waterleaks may occur are sealed
during production with high quality, durable sealers. If it
becomes necessary to reseal specific areas, use a high
quality sealer of medium-bodied consistency which will
retain its flexible characteristics after curing and can be
painted if necessary.
