Service Precaution
WARNING:

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE REFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
SYSTEM REPAIRS.

CAUTION:

Always use the correct fastener in the prope
r
location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY
the exact part number for that application. ISUZU
will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers o
r
thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED,
do not use supplemental coatings (Paints,
greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded
fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally,
such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque
and the joint clamping force, and may damage the
fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specification.
Following these instructions can help you avoid
damage to parts and systems.

Note :
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed
above or their exact equivalent be used on the
vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid
gasket.
Follow the manufacture's instructions at all
times.

3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and
moisture from the connecting surfaces before
applying the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 harden upon
contact with a metal surface.
Do not apply LOCTITE 515 or LOCTITE 518
between two metal surfaces having a clearance
of greater than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor
adhesion will result.
