Work Procedure

CAUTION:
  • Clean surrounding areas of oil injection jack using steam before starting operation, since there may be mud on it.
  • Clean oil pressure gauge (SST: KV40108000) jack with steam before use.
  1. Remove protector of PPMU.
  2. Remove cap of oil injection jack.
  3. Install an oil pressure gauge (SST: KV40108000) (A) to oil injection jack.

    CAUTION:
    • Jack must be securely inserted until a click sound can be heard.
    • Pressure reducing valve (B) of the oil pressure gauge must be closed.
  4. Loosen needle valves A, C, and E of PPMU by approximately 2 rotations.

    CAUTION:

    Never loosen the needle valve more than required.

  5. Lift up the vehicle.
    CAUTION:

    Check that tires never contact the ground.

  6. Tighten needle valves A and C of PPMU.
  7. Loosen lock nuts of needle valves B and D of PPMU and then tighten needle valves B and D.
  8. Write down a value of the oil pressure gauge.
  9. Lift down the vehicle.
    CAUTION:

    Check that the lift is fully lowered.

  10. Read a value of oil pressure gauge.
  11. Compare difference of reading with pressure reading in step 8.
    Pressure change
      Pressure increases : PPMU malfunction
      Pressure does not change : Shock absorber malfunction
  12. Tighten needle valves A, C, and E of PPMU to the specified torque.
    Tightening torque : 8.3 N•m (0.85 kg-m, 73 in-lb)
  13. Loosen needle valves B and D of PPMU by approximately 2 rotations and then tighten lock nut to the specified torque.
    CAUTION:

    Never loosen the needle valve more than required.

    Tightening torque : 20 N•m (2.0 kg-m, 15 ft-lb)
  14. Loosen pressure reducing valve (A) of oil pressure gauge and then lower pressure.

    CAUTION:

    Be careful since oil drains swiftly from oil drain hole (B).

  15. Check that reading of oil pressure gauge is 0 MPa.
  16. Remove oil pressure gauge.
