CAUTION
・ Ensure sufficient clearance and correct fitment has been achieved before
tightening down the nuts and bolts completely. In some cases, there may be insufficient
clearance due to differences in vehicle specification. In such a case, loosen the bolts
of each component and adjust the product until sufficient clearance is achieved before
re-tightening down all the bolts.
・ Using the product whilst there is oil or other debris on it can cause blemishes or
burn marks. Ensure all parts are degreased after installation.
・ Ensure that appropriate thermal insulation is installed for the parts and intended use
of the vehicle.
