2. REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLORED PP BUMPER
NOTE:
All PP bumpers are provided with a grained surface, and if the surface is damaged, it cannot normally be re-
stored to its former condition. Damages limited to the shallow scratches that cause only a change in the luster
of the base material or coating, can be almost fully restored. Before repairing a damaged area, explain this
point to the customer and obtain an understanding about the matter. Repair methods are outlined below,
based on a classification of the extent of damage.
1) Minor damage causing only a change in the luster of the bumper due to a light touch
Almost restorable.
2) Deep damage caused by scratching with fences etc.
A dent cannot be repaired but a whitened or swelled part can be removed.

19 Top coat (I)
Non-colored Metallic paint
Use a “block” coating method.
•Recommended paint:
Suncryl (SC)
No. 307 Flex Hardener
SC Reducer (thinner)
•Mixture ratio:
Suncryl (SC) vs. No. 307 Flex Hardener = 3 : 1
•Viscosity: 11 — 13 sec./20°C (68°F)
• Coating film thickness: 40 — 50 µ
•Spraying pressure: 245 — 343 kPa
(2.5 — 3.5 kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi)
Use a “block” coating method.
•Recommended paint:
Suncryl (SC)
No. 307 Flex Hardener
SC Reducer (thinner)
•Mixture ratio:
Suncryl (SC) vs. No. 307 Flex Hardener = 3 : 1
•Viscosity: 11 — 13 sec./20°C (68°F)
•Coating film thickness: 20 — 30 µ
•Spraying pressure: 245 — 343 kPa
(2.5 — 3.5 kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi)
20 Leave unattended Not required.
Leave unattended at 20°C (68°F) for at least
10 minutes until the topcoat area is half-dry.
NOTE:
Be careful to keep dust or dirt from coming in
contact with the affected area.
21 Top coat (II) Not required.
Apply a clear coat three times at an interval of
3 to 5 minutes.
•Recommended paint:
SC710 Overlay Clear
No. 307 Flex Hardener
SC Reducer (thinner)
•Mixture ratio:
Suncryl (SC) vs. No. 307 Flex Hardener = 3 : 1
•Viscosity: 10 — 13 sec./20°C (68°F)
•Coating film thickness: 20 — 30 µ
•Spraying pressure: 245 — 343 kPa
(2.5 — 3.5 kg/cm2, 36 — 50 psi)
22 Drying
Allow the coated surface to dry for two hours at 20°C (68°F) or 30 minutes at 60°C (140°F)].
NOTE:Do not allow the temperature to exceed 80°C (176°F) since this will deform the PP substrate.
23 Inspection Carefully check the condition of the repaired area.
24Removal of mask-
ingRemove the masking tape applied in Process No. 11 and 13.
25 Parts installation Install parts on the bumper in reverse order of removal.
26 Bumper installation Install the bumper.

Compressor Oil
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
6. Compressor Oil
A: PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Before making repairs, perform the oil return oper-
ation to return the compressor oil in circulation with
the refrigerant to the compressor.
1) Increase the engine to 1,500 rpm.
2) Turn on the A/C switch.
3) Turn the temperature control switch to MAX
COOL.
4) Put in RECIRC position.
5) Turn the blower control switch to HI. (For models
with rear coolers, also turn the rear cooler fan
switch to HI)
6) Leave in this condition for 10 minutes.
B: REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
•If a component has been replaced, add an ap-
propriate amount of compressor oil (same as the
amount of remaining oil in removed component).
•When replacing the compressor, the new com-
pressor will already have the specified amount of
oil in it. Install the new compressor after removing
the same amount of oil that is remaining in the com-
pressor removed.
