INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Type A (w/ Tail Exhaust Pipe Baffle)

(1) Align the cutout of a new tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly with the protrusion (for position alignment) of the tail exhaust pipe assembly as shown in the illustration.

(2) Insert the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly to the position where it can be pressed in by hand.

(3) Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, uniformly tap the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly. NOTICE: Lightly tap the top and bottom of the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly so that the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly is pressed in without a tilt. Press the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly in until the protrusion on the tail exhaust pipe assembly is fit into the cutout area of the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly. Check that there is no looseness in the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly.
