*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.
