Engine
Unscrew and remove the 2 screws (36) and unscrew
the screw that holds the bracket on the back of the
starter motor.
Remove the starter motor (37).
Remove the engine cradle (38) (REMOVING THE
ENGINE CRADLE).
Prepare a hoist and straps for lifting.
WARNING
The hoist and straps must be strong enough to
bear the weight of the engine in complete safety.
Failure to use appropriately strong straps could
allow the engine to fall with subsequent damage
to the engine and possible personal injury to you.
Attach the straps to the hoist and to the engine.
Couple the straps to the hoist and sling up the engine.
CAUTION
The straps must be attached to the engine and to
the hoist in a secure and stable manner so that
the lifting can be done in complete safety.
Raise the hoist arm so that the straps take all of
the engine weight off of the engine mounting
bolts.
Raise up the hoist arm so that the straps take the
strain of the engine weight.
CAUTION
Raise the hoist arm just enough to hold the engine
in position to allow for the removal of the engine
mounting bolts.
