left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver side, and the right side to the
passenger side.

Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.

Route and tie wires and hoses a
minimum of 6” away from exhaust
heat, moving parts and sharp
edges. clearance of 8” or more is
recommended where possible.

When raising the vehicle, support
it on properly weight-rated safety
stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety
precautions. Take care to balance the
vehicle to prevent it from slipping or
falling. When using ramps, be sure the
front wheels are centered squarely on
the topsides. When raising the front
of the vehicle, put the transmission in
park (automatic) or reverse (manual),
set the parking brake, and block the
rear wheels. When raising the back of
the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is on
level ground and the front wheels are
blocked securely.

support the vehicle while working
under it. Do not raise the vehicle
onto concrete blocks, masonry
or any other item not intended
specifically for this use.

During installation, keep the work
area clean. Do not allow anything to
be dropped into intake, exhaust, or
lubrication system components while
performing the installation, as foreign
objects will cause immediate engine
damage upon start-up.

reference for system maintenance and
service.
