- Make sure the fuse shackle is on the chain block side and the shackle (A) is on the division bar side as shown in the illustration so that the fuse bolt is visible and can be checked for deformation easily.
*a Fuse Shackle *b Shackle (A) - If the fuse shackle is installed upside down, deformation of the fuse bolt will not be visible and cannot be used to tell if the load capacity of the engine support bridge has been exceeded. If the load capacity is exceeded, it may cause the engine support bridge to damage the vehicle and the engine assembly with continuously variable transaxle assembly may fall.
- Make sure that the fuse bolt of the fuse shackle is free of damage, such as deformation or cracks. If damaged, replace the fuse shackle.
*a Fuse Shackle *b Fuse Bolt - If a deformed fuse bolt is used, it cannot be used to tell if the load capacity of the engine support bridge has been exceeded. If the load capacity is exceeded, it may cause the engine support bridge to damage the vehicle and the engine assembly with transaxle assembly may fall.
- Make sure the fuse shackle is on the chain block side and the shackle (A) is on the division bar side as shown in the illustration so that the fuse bolt is visible and can be checked for deformation easily.

Connect the 2nd link of the chain to the No. 2 engine hanger.
- Make sure the distance between the chain block assembly and suspension ring is 120 mm (4.72 in.) or more.
*a 120 mm (4.72 in.) or more HINT:
If the suspension height is less than 120 mm, adjust the links of the chain which connect the division bar and engine hanger.
- Adjust the positions of the chain block assembly, support brackets and main beam so that the chain of the chain block assembly is perpendicular to the main beam and the length of the main beam on the outer side of the support bracket LH and RH is the same as shown in the illustration.
*a Chain Block *b Main Beam *c Dimension (A) *d Dimension (B) *e Right to Left Adjustment *f Front to Rear Adjustment WARNING:- To prevent the engine with continuously variable transaxle assembly from falling, make sure that the length of dimension (A) and dimension (B) are equal.
- Do not perform any procedures if the length of dimension (A) and dimension (B) are not equal.
*a Main Beam - Performing any procedure when the length of dimension (A) and dimension (B) are not equal may cause the engine assembly with continuously variable transaxle assembly and engine support bridge to fall, possibly causing serious injury.
