Dealer Disposal Instructions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan NV3500 HD and 2018 Nissan NV2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Use approved shatter-resistant eye protection when performing this procedure.
  • Perform this and all subsequent disposal work procedures in an open room, away from flammable liquids. Keep a fire extinguisher, rated at least 10 ABC, in close proximity to the work area.
  • Be sure to wear rubber gloves when performing the following operations.
  • Make sure the resultant (high alkalinity) waste water does not contact your skin. If the waste water does contact you, wash the contacted area immediately with large quantities of water.
  • Dealers should check their respective state and local regulations concerning any chemical treatment or waste water discharge permits which may be required to dispose of the resultant (high alkalinity) waste water.
  1. Clamp valve stem in a vice.
  2. The valve has a specially-hardened surface. To cut through it, first remove a half-round section, approximately 30 mm (1.18 in) long using air-powered grinder until black color is removed and silver color appears.

  3. Use hacksaw to cut through approximately half the diameter of valve stem. Make the serration at a point 40 mm (1.57 in) from the end of valve stem.

  5. Fill a bucket, such as a 20 SYMBOL (5-1/4 US gal, 4-3/8 Imp gal) oil can, with at least 10 SYMBOL (2-5/8 US gal, 2-1/4 lmp gal) of water. Carefully place the already cut (serrated) valves into the water one-at-a-time using a set of large tweezers and quickly move away at least 2.7 m (9 ft).
  6. The valves should be placed in a standing position as shown in the illustration above, to allow complete reaction. After the bubbling action has subsided, additional valves can be placed into the bucket allowing each subsequent chemical reaction to subside. However, no more than eight valves should be placed in the same 10 SYMBOL (2-5/8 US gal, 2-1/4 lmp gal) amount of water. The complete chemical reaction may take as long as four to five hours. Remove the valves using a set of large tweezers after the chemical reaction has stopped. Afterwards, valves can be disposed as ordinary scrap.
