Park vehicle on level ground, “block” front or rear wheels, set jack against the recommended lifting points (see “Lifting Instructions” in this section), raise vehicle and support with chassis stands and then perform the service operations. 2. Before performing service operations, disconnect ground cable from the battery to reduce the chance of cable damage and burning due to short circuiting. 3. Use a cover on body, seats and floor to protect them against damage and contamination. 4. Brake fluid and anti–freeze solution must be handled with reasonable care, as they can cause paint damage. 5. The use of proper tools and recommended essential and available tools, where specified, is important for efficient and reliable performance of service repairs. 6. Use genuine Isuzu parts. 7. Used cotter pins, plastic clips, gaskets, O–rings, oil seals, lock washers and self–locking nuts should be discarded and new ones should be installed, as normal function of the parts cannot be maintained if these parts are reused. 8. To facilitate proper and smooth reassembly operation, keep disassembled parts neatly in groups. Keeping fixing bolts and nuts separate is very important, as they vary in hardness and design depending on position of installation. 9. Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly. Also clean oil ports, etc. using compressed air, and make certain they are free from restrictions. 10. Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of the parts with oil or grease before installation. 11.When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leakage. 12. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut torques. 13. When removing or replacing parts that require refrigerant to be discharged from the air conditioning system, be sure to use the Vehicle Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Equipment (VRRRE) to recover and recycle Refrigerant–134a. 14. When a service operation is completed, make a final check to be sure the service has been done properly and the problem has been corrected. 15. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM The vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) – Air Bags. This system is not to be serviced without consulting the appropriate service information. Consult Section 9J “SRS System” if work is to be done on the front of the vehicle such as bumper, sheet metal, seats, wiring, steering wheel or column. Also review SRS system information if any arc welding is to be done on the vehicle. The SRS system equipped vehicle can be identified by: 1. “AIR BAG” warning light on the instrument cluster. 2. A Code “K” or “M” for fifth digit of Vehicle Identification Number.

0A–9 GENERAL INFORMATION Lifting Instructions CAUTION: B If a lifting device other than the original jack is used, it is most important that the device be applied only to the correct lifting points. Raising the vehicle from any other point may result in serious damage.
