1. Before starting work, familiarize
yourself with the installation procedure
by reading all of the instructions.
2. The exploded view (Figure 1)
provides only general guidance. Refer
to each step and section diagram in
this manual for proper instruction.
3. Throughout this manual, the
left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver’s side, and the right side to the
passenger’s side.
4. Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.
5. 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.
6. 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, 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.
Caution! Do not use floor jacks to
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.
7. 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.
