GENERAL INFORMATION 00–00–5 00–00 SERVICE PRECAUTIONS C3U000000000B02 Arrangement of Workshop • Arrangement of the workshop is important for safe and efficient work. Safety Precautions • Protective head covering and safety shoes should always be worn. Depending upon the nature of the work, gloves, safety glasses, ear protectors, face shield, etc., should also be used. Vehicle Protection • Use seat covers and floor covers. • Use heat-resistant protective covers to protect glass areas and seats from heat or sparks during welding. • Protect items such as moldings, garnishes, and ornaments with tape when welding. Remove Dangerous Articles • Remove the fuel tank before using an open flame in that area. Plug connection piping to prevent fuel leakage. Use of Pulling Equipment • When using pulling equipment, keep away from the pulling area and use safety wires to prevent accidents. Welding glasses Ear protectors Weldlng gloves Cotton gloves Dust mask Safety glasses Face shield Safety shoes MZZ2036B001 MZZ2036B002 MZZ2036B003 Safety wires MZZ2036B004
GENERAL INFORMATION 00–00–6 Prevent Short Circuits • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Disconnect the battery cables. • Securely connect the welding machine ground near the welding area. End Of Sie EFFICIENT REMOVAL OF BODY PANELS C3U000000000B03 Body Measurements • Before removal or rough-cutting, first measure the body at and around the damaged area against the standard reference dimension specifications. If there is deformation, use frame repair equipment to make a rough correction. Prevention of Body Deformation • Use a clamp or a jack for removal and reinforce at and around the rough-cutting location to prevent deforming of the body.

GENERAL INFORMATION 00–00–7 00–00 Selection of Cut-and-join Locations • For parts where complete replacement is not feasible, careful cutting and joining operations should be followed. If the location to be cut is a flat area where there is no reinforcement, the selected cutting location should be where the welding distortion will be minimal. Removal of Associated Parts • Protect moldings, garnishes, and ornaments with tape when removing associated parts. Rough Cutting of Damaged Panel • Verify that there are no parts (such as pipes, hoses, and wiring harness) nearby or on the opposite side of a panel which could be damaged by heat. • For cut-and-join areas, allow for an overlap of 30—50 mm {1.18—1.97 in} and then rough-cut the damaged panel. End Of Sie INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS C3U000000000B04 Rough Cutting of New Parts • For cut-and-join areas, allow for an overlap of 30—50 mm {1.18—1.97 in} with the remaining area on the body side and then rough-cut the new parts. Determination of Welding Method • If the total thickness at the area to be welded is 3 mm {0.12 in} or more, use a CO 2 gas shielded-arc welder to make the plug welds.

GENERAL INFORMATION 00–00–8 Making Holes for CO 2 Arc Welding • For places that cannot be spot welded, make a hole for CO 2 arc welding using a punch or drill as follows. (mm {in}) • Grind the shaded section indicated in the diagram below and create a hole in the part where the 3—4 plates are put together. Also, weld the plates together tightly so that gaps do not develop. Application of Weld-through Primer • For treatment against corrosion, remove the paint grease, and other material from the portion of new part and body to be welded, and apply weld-through primer. End Of Sie EFFICIENT INSTALLATION OF BODY PANELS C3U000000000B05 Checking Preweld Measurements And Watching • Align to the standard reference dimensions, based upon the body dimensions illustration, so that new parts are installed in the correct position.
