HEALTH WARNING
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful con-
taminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities must
be provided.
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them.
Other precautions:
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under-
pants, with oil.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.
• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separately from per-
sonal clothing.
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-
tion should be worn, for example, chemical gog-
gles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.
• Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all
oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean-
ing, the application of preparations containing
lanolin to replace the natural skin oils is advised.
• Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
• Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.
FORM
−IN−PLACE GASKET (FIPG)
M1001014200132
The engine has several parts to which the
form-in-place gasket (FIPG) is used. To sufficiently
achieve the aims of this gasket, it is necessary to pay
attention to the application amount, procedure, and
surface status.
If the application amount is too small, a leakage will
occur. If the application amount is excessive, the
FIPG will overflow and cause a clogging or narrowing
of water and oil paths. Therefore, to eliminate the
leak from the joint, it is indispensable that the FIPG
be applied with a correct amount and without any
gap.
Because the FIPG used for the engine parts
becomes hardened by the reaction with the atmos-
pheric moisture, it is normally used for the metal
flange section.
CAUTION
Reapply the FIPG with care to the followings.
1. Completely remove the old FIPG including the
residue in gaps of parts.
2. Using Mitsubishi genuine parts cleaner
(MZ100387) or equivalent, degrease the FIPG
application surface carefully.
3. According to the FIPG application proce-
dures, apply it accurately.
DISASSEMBLY
The parts installed with the FIPG can be disassem-
bled easily without using any special method. How-
ever, in some cases, it is necessary to tear the
sealant in between the mating surfaces by tapping
the parts with a wooden hammer or similar tools. It is
acceptable to lightly hit in a smooth, thin gasket
scraper into the mating surface, but, in this case, a
sufficient caution is required not to damage the mat-
ing surface. The oil pan FIPG cutter (Special tool:
MD998727) is provided. Thus, use this special tool.
