*a	Chain Block	*b	Sling Bracket
*c	Fuse Shackle	*d	Shackle (A)

Install the division bar to the chain block with the shackles.

WARNING:

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.

Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

*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 automatic 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	Chain Block Assembly	*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 automatic 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.
