WARNING
§ When removing components
such as engine block, transmission
housing, fuel tank, wheels, front or
rear axle, anchor vehicle to hoist or
add corresponding weights to main-
tain the center of gravity. Otherwise
the vehicle might tilt or slip off the
hoist, causing serious damage or
personal injury.
§ To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury and vehicle damage,
lift vehicle only at the special work-
shop hoist and floor jack lift points
illustrated. Failure to lift vehicle at
these points could cause the vehicle
to tilt or Jail from a lift when, for exam-
ple, heavy components such as the
engine block or transmission are re-
moved resulting in a change in vehicle
weight and balance.
§ If you must lift your vehicle with a
floor jack to work underneath, be sure
the vehicle is safely supported on
stands intended for this purpose.
