Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:^ Damage to suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
^ Never use a halfshaft or the differential housing as a lifting point.
^ Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or transaxle can result.
^ Limit engine runing time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will result.
^ Never probe moving parts.
Do not install brake discs that are less than the minimum thickness specified. Do not machine a brake disc below the minimum thickness specification.
^ Do not use a bench lathe to machine brake discs.
^ Do not twist or strain the powertrain/drivetrain mounts.
^ Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to transmit vibration as if grounded.
^ Make sure the system is warmed up to normal operating temperature, as thermal expansion can be the cause of a strain problem.
