SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

This is the safety alert symbol used for the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
Refer to parts breakdown on page 5:
1. Remove all contents from box and be sure all components are included. First, insert feet with sleeves (#13) into short tubes
welded at the end of both support beams (#1 & 2).
NOTE: The widest foot (#13) goes on the largest support beam (#1).
2. Slide transfer adapter (#11) over the end of transfer bar (#10) as shown in parts drawing (pg. 5) with short tube toward you
and in the up and down position. This transfer adapter will be used for mounting the transfer bar (#10) when needed or J-hook (#3)
when the transfer bar is not used.
NOTE: The Engine Support Bar may be used with or without the transfer bar, depending on the load being supported.
3. If mounting the transfer bar (#10) to assist with an unbalanced load, insert the adjustable pipe (#6) with the rubber tip up through
the large hole at either end of the transfer bar (#10), and secure in place with hex bolt (#9) and wing nut (#8). Do not fully tighten
wing nut as height adjustment may be necessary once the Engine Support Bar is placed over the engine compartment of the
vehicle.
4. After determining the length of transfer bar needed to ensure correct placement of the adjustable pipe (#6) and to properly assist
in supporting the load, insert hex bolt (#5) down through the transfer bar (#10) and the short tube of the transfer adapter (#11) to
hold transfer bar in place on the small support beam. Secure bolt with wing nut (#4). Again, do not fully tighten wing nut (#4), as
some length adjustment may be required once the Engine Support Bar is placed in support position over engine compartment
of the vehicle.
5. It is time to install the two J-hooks (#3) provided. This must be done BEFORE placing the Engine Support Bar over the engine
compartment because ample space may not be available once the support bar is in place. Insert one J-hook up through the
bottom of short tube welded on the center portion of the large support beam (#1), and secure with barrel hex nut (#7). Run hex nut
(#7) all the way down to end of threads toward the hook portion of the J-hook to hold it out of the way until needed. Then, locate
the best position for the second J-hook and install in the same manner. The second J-hook may be installed in either the transfer
bar (#10) as shown in the parts drawing (if the transfer bar is used), or through the short tube welded on the adjustable transfer
adapter (#11) (if the transfer bar is not used).
6. The Engine Support Bar is ready to be placed over the engine compartment of the vehicle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Determine the location of the two engine support bolts to which the Engine Support Bar will be attached. Then, place the Engine
Support Bar directly over these two engine support bolts, making sure that the feet with protective sleeves (#13) are sitting in the
inner fender lips of the engine compartment and fully extended until the feet are touching the inside of the fenders.
CAUTION: If the inside fender lips are more than 61" apart, the Engine Support Bar must not be used. Do not extend past the
designated marking (61") as over-extending this unit may compromise the 700 lb. Capacity. This could cause the Engine Support
Bar to collapse, resulting in bodily injury or property damage.
2. Make sure the transfer bar is in correct position (if being used). The rubber tip of the adjustable pipe (#6) should be on a flat,
reinforced surface capable of supporting the weight of the engine. Tighten both wing nuts (#4 & #8) to secure adjustable pipe (#6)
and transfer bar (#10).
3. The J-hooks (#3) may be lowered to the appropriate position. Be sure J-hooks are directly over the engine support bolts or
brackets so the engine does not swing when vehicle is disassembled. Attach the looped ends of the two 1/8" braided steel cables
(#12) to the engine support bolts on the engine and loop middle of braided cables over J-hooks. If the engine being supported is
equipped with engine lift brackets, hook the J-hooks directly into engine lift brackets for extra protection.
NOTE: Use only fasteners rated Grade 5 or higher as engine support bolts.
4. Tighten the barrel hex nuts (#7) on both J-hooks until cables are snug or hex nuts are tight against support bar. Double check that
engine is properly supported before disassembly of vehicle.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the Engine Support Bar in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive
vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The Engine Support Bar must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil,
grease or other foreign matter before using.
