SAFETY
1. Procedures related to the installation of any com-
ponent related to safety must be done with partic-
ular care in order to assure full maintenance of
safety.
• Suspension installation parts
• Fuel pipe
• Brakes
• Fuel tank installation parts, etc.
2. Because seat belts are directly related to driver
and passenger safety, any welds of seat belt
anchor points or reinforcements must be done
with particular care in order to maintain strength.
.
PREVENTION OF CORROSION AND OF WATER
OR DUST ENTRY
1. After any work is completed, it is important to
completely remove any welding residue, particles
or residue from cutting, and any other dirt, etc.
2. Corrosion-prevention material must without fail
be applied at the following places:
• At any place where paint has flaked off or
peeled away.
• At any surfaces that have been cut.
• At the outer and inner side of every welded
place.
• Within any semi-enclosed structure or compo-
nent (aerosol-type rust inhibitors are effective
for difficult-to-reach places.)
• At the outer and inner side of any place sub-
jected to heat.
3. Apply a coating of undercoating if the underbody
is repaired.
4. Use spot sealer if spot welds are made.
5. Repair any scratches to panels made by mold-
ings, sashes, etc.
6. Carefully apply body sealant to panel connection
joints and other fitting places.
7. Tape over any unused holes in the panel inner
side by using sealing tape.
.
VIBRATION AND NOISE
1. Prevent any decrease of tensional rigidity caused
by welding distortion.
2. Carefully apply body sealant to panel connection
joints and other fitting places.
3. Tape over any unused holes in the panel inner
side by using sealing tape.
.
CONTACT AND ALIGNMENT
1. In order to maintain the precision of openings,
make careful measurements as repairs are being
made.
2. Make contact/alignment adjustments of door
hinge, lid, and hood hinge installation parts.
