GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-19
VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS
WARNING

When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up the
vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.

Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending of what part to be removed.

Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.

TIRE
MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equip-
ment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel
rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel
wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mount-
ing or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with ap-
proved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35psi) so that beads are com-
pletely seated. Then adjust pressure to specified shown an tire
placard.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when
bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If
240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lu-
bricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break
and cause serious personal injury.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
TIRE REPAIR
There are many different materials and techniques on the market
to repair tires. As not all of these work on all types of tires, tire
manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and
when to repair tires. These instructions can be obtained from the
tire manufacturer.

FLUSHING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that entire hydraulic system be thoroughly
flushed with clean brake fluid whenever new parts are installed in
hydraulic system.
Periodical change of brake fluid is also recommended.
FLUID PRESSURE TEST(if equipped with
LSPV)
Test procedure for LSPV assembly is as follows.
Before testing, confirm the following.

Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.

Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack handle.
1) Stop vehicle on level floor and place approximately about
200 kg (441 lbs) weight on rear housing so that rear axle weight
800 kg (1764 lb).
Rear axle weight ªLº: 800 kg (1764 lb)
2) Install special tool to front and rear brake.
NOTE:
Special tool should be connected to breather of front (driv-
er's side brake) and rear brakes.
Special Tool
Front brake
(A): 09956-02310
(B): 09952-46510 (Attachment for vehicle with SUMITOMO
ELECTRIC brake caliper)
(C): 55473-82030 (Air bleeder plug supplied as a spare part)
Rear brake
(A): 09956-02310
(B): 09952-36310 (Attachment for thread diameter 7 mm of
bleeder plug) or
09952-46510 (Attachment for thread diameter 8 mm of
bleeder plug)
(C): 55473-82030 (Air bleeder plug supplied as a spare part)
NOTE:

Special tool (B) is used instead of thread diameter 10 mm
attachment of special tool (A).
So remove the attachment from (A) and install (B) as
shown in figure.

For vehicle with TOKICO brake caliper, use the attach-
ment included in special tool (A).

For identification of brake caliper type, refer to GENERAL
DESCRIPTION in SECTION 5B.

6) Upon completion of fluid pressure test, bleed brake system and
perform brake test.
BOOSTER OPERATION CHECK
There are two ways to perform this inspection, with and without a
tester. Ordinarily, it is possible to roughly determine its condition
without using a tester.
NOTE:
For this check, make sure that no air is in hydraulic line.
INSPECTION WITHOUT TESTER
Check Air Tightness
1) Start engine.
2) Stop engine after running for 1 to 2 minutes.
3) Depress brake pedal several times with the same load as in ordi-
nary braking and observe pedal travel. If pedal goes down deep
the first time but its travel decreases as it is depressed the se-
cond and more times, air tightness is obtained.
4) If pedal travel doesn't change, air tightness isn't obtained.
NOTE:
If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing parts, and re-
place any faulty part.
When this has been done, repeat the entire test.
