1. General Precautions
• Before performing service operations, inquire into the customer’s complaints and ascertain the condition by
checking the total distance traveled, the conditions under which the vehicle is operated, and other relevant factors
on the vehicle. And note the necessary information. This information will help you to service the vehicle efficiently.
• Check the location of the fault, and identify its cause. Based on
your findings, determine whether parts must be removed or dis-
assembled. Then, follow the service procedure given in this
manual.
• Perform service operations on a level surface. Before starting,
take the following preparatory steps:
• To prevent soiling and damage, place covers over the seats,
trim and floor in the cab and over the paintwork of the body.
• Prepare all the general and special tools necessary for the job.
WARNING
• Special tools must be used wherever specified in this man-
ual. Do not attempt to use other tools since they could
cause injuries and/or vehicle damage.
• After manually tilting the cab, be sure to engage the stopper with
the lock lever to secure the cab stay in a rigid state.
• Take extreme care when removing/installing heavy items such
as engine, transmission and axle. When lifting heavy items using
a cable etc., observe the following precautions.
