CAUTION:

The engine assembly with transaxle is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the engine lifter may suddenly drop or the engine assembly with transaxle may fall off the engine lifter.

*a	An Object Exceeding Weight Limit of Engine Lifter

To prevent burns, do not touch the engine, exhaust manifold or other high temperature components while the engine is hot.

The automatic transaxle assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the transmission jack may suddenly drop.
