Danger:
Suspended load!
Risk of serious crushing and injury

- Do not work at or under a suspended load.

- Never reach in between the engine and components during installation or removal.

- Wear protective safety gear.

Danger:
Danger of injury from incorrect use of tools and from failing loads!
Danger of crushing from heavy loads!

- When working on the engine suspension, the engine must be appropriately secured against falling or lowering.

- Never use defective lifting equipment (bent or damaged tools must not be used or repaired. Always replace these tools). Check tools for signs of damage before use.

- Only use lifting equipment tested and approved by Porsche. Home-made and auxiliary constructions result in improper use and are dangerous.

- The transport eyebolt can only bear vertical traction with no side or transverse forces. Side loads (e.g. from chains or cables) will damage the transport eyebolt, which must then be replaced. Extreme cases of improper use can break the transport eyebolt.

- Tools and lifting equipment must always be used properly. Improper use or dangerous home made constructions can break tools and result in falling loads.

- Wear protective gloves.

Information:
Some repair jobs involve suspending the engine on a suitable assembly support.

1. Secure engine support engine support P 9676 on engine. To do this, use the four screws for mounting elements 9590 and tighten them.
