2. Make sure all connections to load are tight and secure.
3. Maintain firm footing when operating Engine Leveler.
4. Make sure that load is free to move and will clear all obstructions.
3. Take up slack carefully, check load balance, lift a few inches and check load holding action before
continuing.
4. Avoid swinging of load.
5. Make sure that all persons stay clear of the suspended load.
6. Warn personnel of an approaching load.
7. Protect load chain from weld spatter or other damaging contaminants.

ADDITIONAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To remove an auto or truck engine with transmission intact, first uncouple the transmission and remove motor
mount bolts. With the Engine Leveler hooked to an overhead hoist above the engine, attach the L-shape
connections at the end of the four (4) chains (choose one of two holes provided) to the engine head bolts -
two at front, both sides, and two at rear, both sides. Using the engine hoist, take up slack in chain carefully. Lift
a few inches and check load balance. To reach the desired angle for load balance, adjust the position of the
movable fulcrum in the beam by turning the handle or the 1" hex adjusting nut at end of the worm shaft with a
ratchet wrench. Then carefully lift out the engine and transmission. By turning the handle one direction or the
other, the suspended engine and transmission can then be tipped only enough to remove. Reverse the above
steps to reinstall repaired engine transmission. For this and other types of loads, make sure all connections
are tight and secure before operating the hoist.
