PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
If a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this
observe the following precations and explain them to your customer.
1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
2. Do not run the engine while the car is at rest for a long time. Avoid running the engine at fast idle for more than 10minutes and idle
speed for more than 20 minutes.
3. Avoid start-jump tests. Do start-jumps only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible and, while testing,
never race the engine.
4. Do not measure engine compression for an extended time. Engine compression tests must be made as rapidly as possible.
5. Avoid coasting with the ignition turned off and during prolonged braking.
6. Do not dispose of used catalytic converter with parts contaminated by gasoline or oil.
