Porshe 911 (997). Manual - part 1203

Straightening body parts

Note

Only "Original Porsche parts" or sections of "Original Porsche parts" may be used!

The body and floor assembly are produced in series from deep-drawn panels. For this reason, accident damage
must be reshaped in the same way. Body repairs by reshaping are not possible if these body parts are
correspondingly deformed. Here, the repair must be carried out using new parts or by means of sectional
repairs. The separation of damaged body parts after reshaping against the accident direction should not take
place until after connection pieces have been straightened.

Welding work

Note

The use of the oxyacetylene welding process is not permissible for body parts made of high-strength
steel!

• 

Test welding must be carried out in the case of resistance spotwelding (RP) of different panel
strengths!

• 

The body parts made from high-strength steel can be welded using the RP resistance spot-welding and MIG
welding processes that are customary in workshops.

Reshaping

Note

Only "Original Porsche parts" or sections of "Original Porsche parts" may be used for repair work!

• 

The separation of damaged body parts should not take place until after reshaping against the
accident direction has taken place and connection pieces have been straightened!

• 

Body repairs by reshaping are not possible if these body parts are correspondingly deformed. Here, the repair
must be carried out using new parts or by means of sectional repairs.

Note

Separation points which influence the strength of the body, and thus also the operating and traffic
safety of the vehicle, must be carried out according to the specifications of the relevant Technical
Manual covering body repair!

• 

Body reinforcements can be separated or joined together only if this is specified in the method
descriptions. Otherwise, a damaged reinforcement must always be replaced with a new one!

WARNUNG

Gefahr des Verlusts der Text-Bild-Zuordnung beim Ausdruck.

Aus technischen Gründen kann derzeit nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass trotz
einwandfreier Darstellung auf dem Bildschirm beim Ausdruck der
Zusammenhang von Text und zugehörigem Bild verloren geht.

• 

Wird der Fehler nicht bemerkt, besteht die Gefahr, daß Arbeiten nicht korrekt
durchgeführt werden und es dadurch zu Personen- und Sachschäden kommt.

• 

→ Vergleichen Sie deshalb nach dem Druckvorgang unbedingt die Ausdrucke mit der
Bildschirmdarstellung. Korrigieren Sie die Ausdrucke im Fehlerfall so, daß der Inhalt der
Bildschirmdarstellung zutreffend wiedergegeben wird.

WARNING

Danger of losing text-figure correspondence when printing out.

For technical reasons, it can currently not be ruled out that the correspondence
between text and associated figure can be lost when it is printed out, even though
the display on the screen is correct.

• 

If the fault is not noticed, there is the danger that work will not be performed
correctly which can cause injury and damage.

• 

→ Therefore, always compare printouts with the screen display after printing them out. Correct
the printouts if they are faulty so that the content of the screen display matches that on the
printouts.

AVERTISSEMENT

Risque de perte de la correspondance texte-illustration lors de l'impression papier.

Pour des raisons techniques, il ne peut pas être exclu à l'heure actuelle que, même
en cas d'affichage correct à l'écran, la correspondance entre le texte et l'illustration
puisse être erronée sur l'impression papier.

• 

Si l'erreur passe inaperçue, on court le risque d'exécuter certaines opérations de
manière incorrecte pouvant conduire à des dommages corporels et matériels.

• 

→ Comparez impérativement pour cette raison les impressions papier avec l'affichage à l'écran.
Corrigez-les en cas d'erreur de manière à reproduire correctement l'affichage à l'écran.

ATTENZIONE

Pericolo di perdita dell'abbinamento testo-immagine nella stampa.

Per motivi tecnici non è escluso che, nonostante la rappresentazione sullo schermo
risulti perfetta, durante la stampa venga persa la corrispondenza fra testo e
relativa immagine.

• 

Se tale difetto non viene rilevato vi è il pericolo che i lavori non siano eseguiti
correttamente; ciò può avere come conseguenza lesioni e danneggiamenti.

• 

→ Per questo motivo, dopo la stampa è assolutamente necessario confrontare le stampe con la
rappresentazione sullo schermo. In caso di errore si prega di correggere le stampe, così da
garantire la riproduzione esatta della rappresentazione sullo schermo.

ADVERTENCIA

Al imprimir se corre el riesgo de perder la correcta asignación de las figuras al texto.

Por motivos técnicos, por el momento no se puede descartar que, aun siendo
correcta la imagen que aparezca en la pantalla, al imprimir se pierda la
correlación entre el texto y la figura correspondiente.

• 

Si este error pasara desapercibido, existe el riesgo de que los trabajos no se
ejecuten de forma correcta y, por tanto, se produzcan daños personales y
materiales.

• 

→ Por ello le rogamos que tras el proceso de impresión compare siempre las copias impresas con
la imagen de la pantalla. En caso de error, corrija las copias impresas de forma que se
correspondan con el contenido de la imagen de la pantalla.

- Removing spring strut locking devices

General

WARNING

Increased risk of accident due to installed spring strut locking devices.

Worsening of handling and driving safety.

• 

→ Remove spring strut locking devices before a test drive or before the vehicle is handed over to the

customer.

Front spring strut locking devices

Note

In order to avoid damage to the floorpan assembly during transport (e.g. during loading and unloading), spring
strut locking devices (new version) -arrow- are installed in new vehicles on the front axle. This increases the
ground clearance of the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the spring strut locking devices are coloured white, yellow, green, blue,
red, or orange.
On the rear axle, no spring strut locking devices are necessary.
Do not send removed spring strut locking devices back to Porsche. Dispose of them on-site.
