      A0028Y6C01
      *a Support Shaft *b Front Side Member
      *c Cloth *d Front Side
      *e Front Suspension Nut - -
      SST
      09940-10020

      CAUTION:


      • A002750C01
        *a Support Shaft
        *b Front Side Member

        Make sure that no oil or grease is on the front side member, and set the support shaft on the level surface of the front side member.

      • The engine support bridge may fall off if there is any oil or grease on the front side member or it is installed on the unlevel surface.

      Note


      • Prevent SST from contacting the vehicle body exterior and windshield glass.

      • To prevent damage to the engine hood, place pieces of cloth between the engine hood and SST.

      • Lightly shake SST by hand to make sure it is securely installed before performing work.

    3. A0027SXC01
      *a Support Shaft
      *b Sub Beam
      *c Front Side Member
      *d Threaded Portion

      Turn the threaded portion of each support shaft to adjust its height until the sub beams are parallel to the ground.

    4. Install the chain block assembly to the sling bracket.

      A0027SHC01
      *a Chain Block Assembly *b Sling Bracket
      *c Fuse Shackle *d Shackle (A)

    5. Install the division bar to the chain block with the fuse shackle and shackle (A).

      CAUTION:


      • A002A95C01
        *a Fuse Shackle
        *b Shackle (A)

        Make sure the fuse shackle is on the chain block side and the shackle (A) is on the division bar side as shown in the illustration so that the fuse bolt is visible and can be checked for deformation easily.

      • If the fuse shackle is installed upside down, deformation of the fuse bolt will not be visible and cannot be used to tell if the load capacity of the engine support bridge has been exceeded. If the load capacity is exceeded, it may cause the engine support bridge to damage the vehicle and the engine assembly with automatic transaxle assembly may fall.

      • A002BPRC01
        *a Fuse Shackle
        *b Fuse Bolt

        Make sure that the fuse bolt of the fuse shackle is free of damage, such as deformation or cracks. If damaged, replace the fuse shackle.

      • If a deformed fuse bolt is used, it cannot be used to tell if the load capacity of the engine support bridge has been exceeded. If the load capacity is exceeded, it may cause the engine support bridge to damage the vehicle and the engine assembly with transaxle assembly may fall.

    6. Connect the division bar to the No. 1 engine hanger with the shackle (A).

      A0029DBC01

      A0027SMC01
      *a Chain Block Assembly *b Suspension Ring
      *c 120 mm or more - -

      Tech Tips

      If the suspension height is less than 120 mm (4.72 in.), use a different link of the chain which connects the division bar and engine hanger.

    9. Adjust the position of the chain block assembly so that the chain is perpendicular to the main beam and sub beams as shown in the illustration.

      A0027TXC01
      *a Chain Block Assembly *b Main Beam
      *c Sub Beam *d Dimension (A)
      *e Dimension (B) *f Correct
      *g Incorrect *h Right to Left Adjustment
      *i Front to Rear Adjustment - -

      CAUTION:


      • To prevent the engine assembly with automatic transaxle assembly from falling, make sure that the length of dimension (A) and dimension (B) are equal.

      • Do not perform any procedures if the length of dimension (A) and dimension (B) are not equal.

      • Performing any procedure when the length of dimension (A) and dimension (B) are not equal may cause the engine assembly with automatic transaxle assembly and engine support bridge to fall, possibly causing serious injury.
