PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Bolt front leg (#8) to base connector (#7) using two each bolts (#20), 2 each bolts (#21) and the flat washers (#13),
lock washers (#14) and nuts (#15) provided.
2. Bolt rear leg (#5) to post assemby (#3) using the same bolts, flat washers, lock washers and nuts mentioned in step one.
3. Secure base connector (#7) to post assembly (#3) using bolt (#22), washer (#25), lockwasher (#24), nut (#23), pin (#26)
and clip (#27).
4. Install locking caster wheels (#9) to the front leg (#8) using lockwashers (#14) and nuts (#15). Close the ends of the front leg (#8)
with the caps (#11).
5. Insert the bushings (#19) inside the rear wheels (#6) and secure them to the wheel brackets at either end of the rear leg (#5)
with the bolts (#16), washers (#17) and nuts (#18).
6. Install the mounting head (#2) through the tube on top of the post assembly (#3) and secure them by inserting the handle (#4)
through the hole in the mounting head tube (#3).
7. Secure the fingers (#1) to the mounting head (#2) using the bolts (#12), washers (#13), lockwashers (#14) and nuts (#15) provided.
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 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 stand as total engine weight is transferred to crane or hoist.
