4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

4.1 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, ENGINE

}

Suspend the engine securely from 
the hoist, using approved lifting 
gear. 
Various fluids will be released when 
fluid pipes are removed. 
Collect these fluids. Personal safety 
and the risk of fire should always be 
considered.

Note:
Because of the large number of vehicle 
specifications, it is not feasible to exactly specify 
the engine removal and installation procedures 
for every vehicle.
This description only includes the most important 
points requiring attention.

-

Disconnect the earth lead from the battery 
terminal.

-

Avoid opening fluid systems as much as 
possible. If possible, remove and set aside 
the engine components.

-

When removing the engine, ensure that no 
parts or dirt fall into the engine, radiator or 
other components. Therefore, plug all 
openings that are freed.

-

Wiring harnesses are vulnerable. If 
damaged, they may cause failures. Make 
sure these wiring harnesses are stress-free 
and clear of moving parts.

-

Fit all attachment bolts and tighten them to 
the correct torque.

-

The engine should not be allowed to rest on 
the oil sump. Because the oil sump is made 
of sheet material, it will be severely damaged 
by the engine's weight.
