DRILLING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:
- If equipped with fire suppression system, depower the system. For important safety warnings and procedures refer to Fire Suppression System.
- On vehicles equipped with air suspension, the electrical power supply to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to lifting the vehicle. This can be accomplished by disconnecting the battery or turning off the air suspension service switch located in the luggage compartment on the LH side. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.







1. Observe the following precautions when carrying out drilling operations.
- The hole is at least the specified distance from the edge of the nearest hole.
- The edge of the drilled hole is at least the specified distance from the edge of the flange.
- The hole is at least the specified distance above the frame centerline.
- The drilled hole is at least the specified distance from any other existing bracket or component of the frame.

NOTE: Corrosion protection needs to be restored whenever it is necessary to sand or grind through painted surfaces or E-coat, or when bare metal repairs are made.

2. Reposition any brackets or shields removed during procedure.
3. If equipped with air suspension system, reactivate the power supply. This can be accomplished by reconnecting the battery or turning on the air suspension service switch located in the luggage compartment LH side.

4. WARNING: If equipped with fire suppression system, repower the system. For important safety warnings and procedures refer to Fire Suppression System.
