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. Insert the middle beam (#18) in the main post (#1) all the way until the ends of the square tubes are flush with each other and
secure them with a 1-1/8" long bolt (#3).
2. Secure the back leg (#2) to the angle iron portion of the main post (#1) and secure them together with the 2-3/4" long bolts (#7),
flat washers (#14), lockwashers (#16) and nuts (#15).
3. Secure the front leg (#17) to the angle iron portion of the middle beam (#18) with the 2-3/4" long bolts (#7), flat washers (#14),
lockwashers (#16) and nuts (#15).
4. Slide the 3-1/2" diameter rear wheels (#20) onto the axle shafts of the back leg (#2) and secure them to the axles with the flat
washers (#22) and spring clips (#23).
5. Insert the two 3" caster assemblies (#12) into the bottom of the front leg (#17) and secure them to the leg by reaching inside the
leg openings (#17) with the lock washers (#11) and nuts (#10) and tightening them on the threaded caster stems.
6. Install the tube section of the head mounting plate (#4) into the tube at the top of the main post (#1) and secure them together by
inserting the lock pin (#5) in the holes that line up between the two tubes.
7. Push one of the handle grips (#21) on the handle (#13) and insert the handle through the cross hole at the end of the head
mounting plate (#4). Now push on the remaining handle grip (#21) on the other end of the handle (#13).
8. Attach the four fingers (#6) to the head mounting plate (#4) with the 1-5/8" long bolts (#8), flat washers (#9), lockwashers (#11) and
nuts (#10).
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. 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 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 stands's 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 the full weight of the engine. To check engine balance and secure
setup of the engine to the 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 stand, connect the lifting bar or sling to the crane or hoist and raise the engine high enough to
take the weight off the stand. Carefully remove the bolts that connect the four mounting fingers to the engine. Be aware there will
be a slight movement of the stand as total engine weight is transferred to the crane or hoist.

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 stand in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The stand must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other
foreign matter before using.
2. Lubricate the wheels, casters, wheel axles, and rotating tube with a general purpose grease.
