Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ Damage to the suspension or steering linkage system components may occur when positioning the hoist adapters. The front adapter pads should be positioned carefully to ensure maximum contact under the center of the lower suspension arms or spring supports as near the wheels as practical. The rear suspension hoist adapters (forks) should be placed under the spring mounting pads or the rear axle housing tubes, but the adapters must not interfere with the shock absorber mounting brackets or the stabilizer bar mounting brackets.
^ When raising a vehicle on a twin post hoist, care should be taken to position the vehicle so that the hoisting adapters (forks) do not damage the axle housing cover or contact the rear stabilizer bar or brackets.
^ For proper wrecker towing procedures, refer to the vehicle Owner Guide. Improper towing of a vehicle can result in transmission damage. Always follow the outlined towing procedures.
^ Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or transaxle can result.
^ Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will result.
^ Never probe moving parts.
^ Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time. Damage to the power steering pump will occur
^ 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.
^ Make sure the system is warmed up to normal operating temperature, as thermal expansion can be the cause of a strain problem.
