Precaution

SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM (w/ KDSS)

PRECAUTION

1. PRECAUTION

a. To prevent dirt or mud on parts from entering the hydraulic circuits in the KDSS during removal and installation or disassembly, wash each part before starting operations.
b. Keep the removed or disassembled parts in order. Protect the parts to prevent foreign matter from entering the hydraulic circuits.
c. The fluid is sealed in the hydraulic circuits at high pressure. Start operations after reducing the pressure by draining the fluid from the bleeder plug on the accumulator. Be careful when removing and installing or disassembling the hydraulic circuit related parts, such as bleeder plugs and tube flare nuts.
d. Wipe any residual fluid off each part before connecting the hydraulic circuits and checking for fluid leaks.
e. If a factory-installed piping (one piece pipe) vehicle requires replacement of the piping due to oil leakage or other reasons, replace each pipe with the two piece type pipes (split construction type supply parts 48890-60010 or 48880-60010).
f. It will be necessary to cut or deform the factory installed piping (one piece pipe) to remove it from the vehicle.

NOTE: Drain the oil from the piping and disconnect the connection points. Then cut the piping, being careful not to allow foreign matter to enter the system.
