Transporting at the components colored in "red" causes damage to the steering gear.

• Boot: damaged when pressed, grabbed, or placed on hard surfaces.
• Engine: treating harshly or placing on hard surfaces may damage the connectors and/or wires.

The steering gear must not be under any mechanical load:

• A steering gear that has fallen onto a hard surface or shows any sign of damage must not be installed in the vehicle.

Steering Gear, Handling and Transporting Correctly 

-- Transport the steering gear using two hands and wearing safety gloves.

-- Only grab the steering gear at the areas colored in "green".
