GENERAL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTION

1-1. PAGE LAYOUT

This Labor Time Guide is designed for convenient and accurate use. For fast, efficient location of Labor Operation Codes, a detailed illustration and corresponding Labor Operation Code information is provided.

1-2. TYPES OF OPERATION

Major Operation

The Labor Operation Codes consist of seven digits. All operation numbers having "0" in the seventh digit of operation number are classified as "major" operations. A major operation time allowance is sufficient to do the work described as a single operation.

Supplementary Operation (Adds)

All operation numbers having an alphabetical letter in the seventh digit of the operation number are classified as "supplementary" operations. These operations cannot be used as a single operation and must be used as additions to the major operation.

1-3. TIME ALLOWANCES

The time allowances published in this guide have been determined by performing the operation a sufficient number of times to establish an average time or to determine that a fair and equitable time has been developed. Standard technician's hand tools and dealer essential and available tools are used in performing time studies. No power operated tools are used for time studies. Procedures outlined in Service Manuals, other Service Publications and standard shop practices are used as a guide when performing the work necessary to establish time allowances.

The time allowance includes the actual time required to perform the operation plus an additional allowance to provide for operating variables. Time allowances include time to remove and reinstall manufacturer options and accessories but do not include time to remove and reinstall special or aftermarket equipment.

"Repair diagnosis" time is included in all published labor time operations when it is required to perform the operation. It is the responsibility of the dealer's qualified service staff to assist technicians in "customer problem analysis" and "symptom diagnosis".

2. HOW TO READ THIS MANUAL

Section

Refer to the main group code in this chapter.

Illustration Number

The illustration number corresponds to the reference number provided in the chart or the facing page.

Operation Description

2A. Major Operation

The Operation Description corresponds to each labor operation number, identifies the part or component, and describes what kind of operation is to be performed.

2B. Supplementary Operation

The Operation Description corresponding to each operation number identifies the part or component concerned, and describes the additional operation for removing and reinstalling optional equipment (i.e. power steering, air conditioning, etc.), when a major operation is performed on vehicles with optional equipment.

Operation Code

The Operation Code consists of seven digits.

1) Main Group Code

The Main Group Code consists of 3 digits which indicates the area of the vehicle where the repair was performed.

2) Basic Code

The Basic Code is a 3-digit number specific to each operation.

3) Auxiliary Code

The Auxiliary Code indicates the type of repairs as shown below ;

Auxiliary Code	Description
0	Major operation
A	Supplementary operation
B
-
-
-
R

Major Operation

The numeric code "0" represents a major operation.

Supplementary Operation (ADD)

The alpha code "A" ? "R" represents supplementary work where additional time is required for R & R of optional parts or components which are related to the intended repair (major operation).

Operation Times

The operation times in this manual are provided in hours and tenths of hours (e.g. 1.1 hours for 1 hour and 6 minutes).

Enter the operation time on the warranty claim in the same manner.

Model Code

This code represents the vehicle model.

Vehicle Models

J : J-300

Engine Type

This designation represents engine types.

2.4D : 2.4 DOHC Engine

3.2D : 3.2 V6 DOHC Engine

2.0DSL : 2.0 Diesel Engine

3. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The operation times in this manual are provided in hours and tenths of hours (e.g. 1.1 hours for 1 hour and 6 minutes).

Enter the operation time on the warranty claim in the same manner.

Example : (When supplementary work is performed in addition to the intended repair)

Model : M-300 : Spark

Major Operation : Camshaft Replacement

Supplementary Work : With Air Conditioning

Step 1 : First find DOHC ENGINE MECH. - CAM SUPPORT & SHAFT in MAIN GROUP INDEX and then the page (Engine 1C-19) for Camshaft.

Step 2 : On page Engine 1C-19, note the Operation Code for Camshaft Replacement.

.	. Total Operation Time	. 2.7

4. PAINT REPAIR

4-1. INSTRUCTION

The time allowances for paint operations are established on the basis of techniques and material required for high quality work.

The basis for determining the paint time allowances is a "Paintable Surface".

1-1. All dents have been removed from sheet metal parts and welded parts are restored to their original shape.

1-2. Welding and soldering joints, overlapping seams formed by partial replacement and surfaces repaired with fillers are completely smooth.

1-3. And when the painter does not need to apply more than 3 coats of knife-edge putty to the surfaces to be painted.

4-2. LABOR TIME

The time allowances for paint work include all related tasks like material preparation time, actual repair time and material allowances, which are necessary for a proper and professional paint repair. Note that material allowances are converted to hours and are included in the operation time based on the paint process and the size of area to be painted.

The material allowances include necessary paint mixing and other items like masking tape, sand paper, cleaning materials, etc.

INCLUDES ; moving the vehicle / mixing all materials / color blending / equipment cleaning / color spray sample / repainting time on clear coat / masking / sanding / cleaning / spraying / removing of the masking and polishing.

EXCLUDES ; removal and reinstallation of body attaching parts

4-3. REPAIR TYPE

Type	Description
COLOR COAT	. PAINT EXPOSED SURFACES
COLOR COAT	Top-coat entire surface, including small dents that have been straightened (without filling in). This operation should be used when correcting painting conditions such as thin paint, color mismatch or surface scratches not extending beyond the prime coat.
REFINISH	. PAINT NEW PART
REFINISH	This operation involves sanding out a defect to expose a local area of bare metal, prime locally and then apply color coat. This applies to those paint repairs that require a repair to the prime coat before the color coat is applied.
RPA	. REPARE THE EXPOSED SURFACE AND PAINT THE REPAIRED PART
RPA	This operation involves sanding out a defect to expose a local area of bare metal, prime locally and then apply color coat. This applies to those paint repairs that require a repair to the prime coat before the color coat is applied.
POLISHING	. POLISH THE SURFACES

4-4. HOW TO USE OPERATION CODE FOR PARTIAL PAINTING

Use the operation code of the relevant part and enter "P" in the PF column of the GMDAT Warranty Claim. For example, if only a portion of a Cruze bonnet required painting, complete the GMDAT Warranty Claim as follows ;

. PF	. OPERATION CODE	. HOUR
. P	. 9836080	. 0.7

. GMDAT	. GME	. DESCRIPTION
. REF	. PSI	. Painting new parts: -- Partially apply filler to weld-in parts - sheet metal attaching parts -- Complete surface, fill -- Complete surface, top-coat
. COLOUR COAT	. PSII	. Surface Painting -- Top-coat complete surface, including small improvements (without applying filler)
. RPA	. PSIII	. Paint Repairs -- Partial filling on up to 50% of surface to be painted -- Working surface, fill -- Complete surface, top coat
