WARNING:
a. Situate vehicle onaflat and solid surface.
b. Place chocks atfront andback ofrear wheels.
c. Donot remove engineuntilexhaust systemhascompletely
cooled off.
Otherwise, youmay burn yourself and/orfiremay break out
in fuel line.
d. For safety during subsequent steps,thetension ofwires
should beslackened againsttheengine.
e. Before disconnecting fuelhose, release fuelpressure from
fuel line.
Refer to"Releasing FuelPressure" inEC section.
f. Besure tohoist engine andtransaxle inasafe manner.
g. For engines notequipped withengine slingers, attach
proper slingers andbolts described inPARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
• When liftingengine, besure toclear surrounding parts.
Take special careforaccelerator wirecasing, brakelines
and brake master cylinder.
• Inhoisting theengine, alwaysuseengine slingers inasafe
manner.
• Inremoving driveshaft, becareful nottodamage grease
seal oftransaxle.
Engine cannotberemoved separately fromtransaxle. Remove
engine withtransaxle.

PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions (Cont'd)

• After disconnecting vacuumorair hoses, attachatag to
indicate theproper connection.
• Use only thefluids andlubricants specifiedinthis manual.
• Use approved bondingagent,sealants ortheir equivalents
when required.
• Use tools andrecommended specialtoolswhere specified
for safe andefficient servicerepairs.
• When repairing thefuel, oil,water, vacuum orexhaust
systems, checkallaffected linesforleaks.
• Dispose ofdrained oilorthe solvent usedforcleaning parts
in an appropriate manner.

Precautions forMultiport FuelInjection System
or ECCS Engine

• Before connecting ordisconnecting anyharness connector
for the multiport fuelinjection systemorEGM (EGGS control
module):
Turn ignition switchto"OFF" position.
Disconnect negativebatteryterminal.
Otherwise, theremaybedamage toEGM.
• Before disconnecting pressurizedfuellinefrom fuelpump to
injectors, besure torelease fuelpressure.
• Becareful nottojar components suchasEGM andmass air
flow sensor.

Precautions forThree WayCatalyst

If a large amount ofunburned fuelflows intothecatalyst, the
catalyst temperature willbeexcessively high.Toprevent this,
follow theinstructions below:
• Use unleaded gasolineonly.Leaded gasoline willseriously
damage thethree waycatalyst.
• When checking forignition sparkormeasuring engine
compression, maketestsquickly andonly when necessary.
• Donot run engine whenthefuel tank level islow, otherwise
the engine maymisfire causing damage tothe catalyst.
Do not place thevehicle onflammable material.Keepflamma-
ble material offthe exhaust pipeandthethree waycatalyst.

Engine Oils

Prolonged andrepeated contactwithused engine oilmay
cause skincancer. Trytoavoid direct skincontact withused oil.
If skin contact is.made, washthoroughly withsoap orhand
cleaner assoon aspossible.

HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid prolonged andrepeated contactwithoils, particularly
used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing,including impervious gloves
where practicable.
• Donot putoily rags inpockets.
• Avoid contaminating clothes,particularly underpants, with

oil.

• Heavily soiledclothing andoil-impregnated footwearshould
not beworn. Overalls mustbecleaned regularly.
