SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Setup Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
1. Please refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 in this manual in order to identify parts.
2. Insert the middle beam (#11) in the main post (#14) all the way until the ends of the square tubes are flush with each other and secure them with a
3/4" long bolt (#10).
3. Secure the back leg (#3) to the angle iron portion of the main post (#14) and secure them together with the 2-3/4" long bolts (#9), flat washers (#6),
lock washers (#7) and nuts (#8).
4. Secure the front leg to the angle iron portion of the middle beam (#11) with the 2-3/4" long bolts (#9), flat washers (#6), lock washers (#7) and nuts (#8).
5. Insert the two 3-1/2" diameter wheels (#1) into the bottom of the back leg (#3) and secure them to the leg with bolt (#2), washers (#5) and nuts (#4).
6. Insert the two 3-1/2" caster assembly (#13) into the bottom of the front leg (#12) and secure them to the leg with bolt (#2), washers (#5) and nuts (#4).
7. Install the tube section of the head mounting plate (#18) into the tube at the top of the main post (#14) and secure them together by inserting the lock
pin (#15) in the holes that line up between the two tubes.
8. Push one of the handle grips (#16) on the handle (#17) and insert the handle through the cross hole at the end of the head mounting plate (#18).
Now push on the remaining handle grip (#16) on the other end of the handle (#17).
9. Attach the four fingers (#22) to the head mounting plate (#18) with the 3" long bolts (#19), flat washers (#21), lock washers (#20) and nuts (#23).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
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 stand'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.
