WARNING
•
To reduce the risk of
serious
injury and vehicle damage
.
-
Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
~
page
287,
fig. 182 and
~
page
287,
fig. 183.
-
Failure to lift the
vehicle
at these points could cause the
vehicle to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle
weight distribution
and balance. This might happen, for
example, when heavy
components
such as the engine block or
transmission
are removed.
•
When removing heavy components
like these, anchor vehicle
to hoist or add corresponding
weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist,
causing serious
personal injury.
