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

INSTALL ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE
Set the engine assembly with transaxle on an engine lifter.
Note
Using height adjustment attachments and plate lift attachments, keep the engine assembly with transaxle horizontal.
Do not perform any procedures while the engine assembly is suspended because doing so may cause the engine assembly to drop, resulting in injury. However, the engine assembly needs to be suspended when it is installed to or removed from an engine stand.
To prevent the oil pan sub-assembly from deforming, do not place any attachments under the oil pan sub-assembly of the engine assembly with transaxle.
Remove the 2 bolts, No. 1 engine hanger and No. 2 engine hanger.
Operate the engine lifter and install the engine assembly with transaxle to the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Do not raise the engine assembly with transaxle more than necessary. If the engine is raised excessively, the vehicle may also be lifted up.
Note
Make sure that the engine assembly with transaxle is clear of all wiring and hoses.
While raising the engine assembly with transaxle into the vehicle, do not allow it to contact the vehicle.
