THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only
by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and
operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper
use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-
centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating.
• Inspect the engine stand before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, or has loose or missing
hardware or components. Take corrective action before using the engine stand.
• Do not use beyond its rated capacity.
• Use only on a hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Make sure all mounting hardware is securely tightened and setup is stable before rotating engine.
• Always use high strength SAE grade 8 bolts (not supplied) for mounting engine to mounting head fingers.
• Make sure widest set of mounting head fingers (if supplied) are nearest the ground when mounting engine to stand.
• Assure the load is centered, balanced and secured to the mounting head and fingers. The engine's weight should be balanced
within one inch of the mounting head's rotational axis.
• Never loosen mounting head bolts or engine mounting bolts unless engine is supported by a crane or hoist.
• Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by Sunex Tools
• Do not use stand to dolly or transport engine.
• Do not crawl under engine or place any part of your body under engine at any time.
• Refer to engine manufacturer's service manual for proper lifting points, mounting points and bolt sizes. Mounting bolts should be
torqued at appropriate amount to maintain load.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
