SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Failure to follow these Setup Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
1. Refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 to identify engine stand components.
2. First, install the casters (#6 and #7) to the front and rear legs (#1 and #15) using the hardware items (#3, #4, and #5), being sure to insert bolts from the
bottom side of caster plate.
IMPORTANT: All hardware that assembles items (#1, #11, #15, and #39) together should be assembled loosely to ensure all bolts and pins fit through
their designated holes.
3. Attach the center beam assembly (#11) to the leg assemblies (#1 and #15) using hardware items (#8, #9, and #10).
4. Next, attach one end of brace (#14) to the center beam (#11) using hardware items (#8, #9, and #10). Make sure position of brace is as shown
in diagram.
5. PIace post (#39) with gear box assembly onto base assembly as follows: Stand the post on the base and attach by passing bolt (#8) through middle hole
in the center beam assembly and welded bushing at the bottom of the post (#39). Secure with hardware items (#8, #9, and #10). Then pass pins (#12)
through the hole in the beam bracket and the hole in the rear leg assembly. Secure pins with clips (#13).
6. Attach the end of the brace (#14) to the post using the hardware items (#8, #9, and #10).
7. Now tighten all hardware that assembles items (#1, #11, #15 and #39) together.
8. Rotate the gear box (#24) so its three holes line up with the holes in the post (#39) and secure them with the hardware (#22 and #23) provided. The worm
box (#24) should be positioned as shown in the diagram.
9. Secure fingers (#16) to mounting head with hardware (#9, #10, #17, #18 and #19) provided.
10. To fold engine stand, simply remove the two pins (#12) and clips (#13), fold brace forward, and then fold post forward. The pins and clips can be stored in
open holes.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
NOTE: Do not mount engine to mounting plate unless both pins, (#12), are in place and secured with (#13) clips provided according to the SETUP
INSTRUCTIONS.
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 assembly.
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 engine 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 full weight of the engine. To check engine balance and secure setup of the engine to the engine
stand, slowly rotate the engine by turning the gear crank 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 engine 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 engine stand, connect the lifting bar or sling to the crane or hoist and raise the engine high enough to take the weight off the
engine stand. Carefully remove the bolts that connect the four mounting fingers to the engine. Be aware there will be a slight movement of engine stand as
total engine weight is transferred to crane or hoist.
6. This engine stand has a folding feature that can save space or make storage easy. Just remove both pins (#12) and their clips (#13) so the brace (#14) and
post (#39) can fit flat on top of the center beam assembly (#11). The pins and clips can be stored in the open holes.
