SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow these Setup Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
WARNING
1. Refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 to identify engine stand components.
2. Bolt front leg (#4) to base connector (#2) using (2) M10 x 60 hex bolts (#22), (2) 10 washers (#15), and (2) M10 nuts (#19). Bolt from outside towards
center of engine stand.
3. Bolt rear leg (#3) to base connector (#2) using (2) M10 x 60 hex bolts (#22), (2) 10 washers (#15), and (2) M10 nuts (#19).
4. Insert post (#1) into post tube on base connector (#2) using a M12 x 80 full thread bolt (#25). Screw into welded nut on post tube, through post (#1)
until tight.
5. Insert head (#5) into rotator tube on top of post. Tighten with M12 x 25 hex bolt (#16) screwed into rotator tube.
6. Insert handle (#8) through rear of head tube.
7. Place grips (#9) on both ends of handle.
8. Attach fingers (#6 and #7) to head plate using (4) M12 x 65 hex bolts (#23), (4) 12 washers (#24), (4) 12 washers (#21), (4) 20 washers (#20) and (4) M12
nuts (#18).
Failure to read this manual completely and thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY WARNINGS, MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
and comply with them, and failure to comply with the METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS could cause accidents resulting in serious or fatal personal
injury and/or property damage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Consult the vehicle or engine manufacturer for service manuals and/or technical bulletins that provide information on suggested engine mounting tips,
proper size and type mounting bolts and the engine's center of balance. The engine's center of balance will have to be aligned with the rotational axis of
the engine stand's mounting head.
2. Drain oil and coolant and remove clutch bell housing and flywheel from engine before mounting. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling to the engine and
secure the bar or sling to a shop crane or hoist. Slowly lift the engine from its compartment, making sure no other mounting hardware, vehicle components,
wires or hoses obstruct the free movement of the engine. Raise the engine high enough so its center of balance is close to the rotational axis of the engine
stands' mounting head.
3. Make sure the four mounting head fingers are loosely connected to the mounting head plate. Secure the four mounting head fingers to the bell housing end
of the engine with the appropriate bolts and washers. Reposition the mounting head, fingers and engine so the engine's center of balance is within one inch
of the mounting head's rotational axis. Tighten all bolts to a sufficient torque requirement that prevents any slippage.
4. Slowly lower the crane or hoist so the engine stand supports full weight of the engine. To check engine balance and secure setup of the engine to the engine
stand, slowly rotate the engine by turning the handle. If balance or setup are not stable, rotate the engine to its original position, raise the crane or hoist so
the weight of the engine is removed from the stand and make the correct adjustments. After adjustments are made, tighten all bolts. This adjustment
procedure may have to be duplicated several times until correct. After the setup is balanced and secure, the lifting bar or sling can be removed from crane
or hoist.
5. To remove the engine from the engine stand, connect the lifting bar or sling to the crane or hoist and raise the engine high enough to take the weight off the
engine stand. Carefully remove the bolts that connect the four mounting fingers to the engine. Be aware there will be a slight movement of engine stand as
total engine weight is transferred to crane or hoist.
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
