4. CAUTION WHEN SERVICING THE ENGINE
1) Cleaness
Engine has a lot of precisely machined (grinding, polishing, lapping) surfaces. Thus, there should be
great cautions for cleaness when servicing the engine components. Apply the engine oil on the sliding
surfaces when assemblying the components. Every component should be disassembled and
reassembled in accordance with the correct sequences. Before servicing the engine, the negative cable
should be diconnected from the battery. Otherwise, some electric or electronic components could be
damaged.
2) Servicing
Before service work, be sure to disconnect battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damages by bad
wire and short.
To prevent the foreign material from getting into engine cylinder, cover the inlet of air cleaner if the
air cleaner has been removed.
(1) Lifting up the vehicle
Always keep the safety precautions.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling down, put the chocks under the tires (when using a 4-post lift).
Make sure to support the correct lifting points (when using a 2-post lift) -
-
-
(2) Exhaust system
Wear the safety glove when removing the exhaust pipe.
Make sure that the exhaust pipe is cooled before removing it. -
-
(3) Cautions before service
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and radiator are hot.

2) Cautions on Service Procedures
Before lifting up the vehicle with a lift, correctly support the lifting points.
When using a jack, park the vehicle on a level ground and place the wheel chocks under the
tires. Position the jack under the frame and lift up the vehicle and then support with chassis
stand before service work.
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to
electric systems.
If you have to work on vehicle, cover the seats and floor with protection covers to avoid any
damage and contamination.
Brake fluid and anti-freeze can damage the painted surface of body. So carefully handle them
during service work.
To improve the efficiency of service work, use only recommended and specified tools.
Use only Ssangyong genuine spare parts.
Never reuse the cotter pin, gasket, O-ring, oil seal, lock washer and self-locking nut. Replace
them with new ones. If reused, normal functions cannot be maintained.
Store the disassembled parts as a set based on disassembly order and unit.
Pay particular attention not to miss or mix the fasteners.
If necessary, especially for inspection, clean the removed parts completely.
Apply the oil or grease on the running and sliding surfaces before installation. Use the specified
sealant and gasket to prevent leakage if necessary.
Tighten the fasteners with the specified tightening torque.
As a final stage of service work, check if the serviced system is working properly and the
problem has been eliminated clearly. 1.
