before set up or use of this product.

Mounting Engine

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Before attaching an engine to the stand, confirm that its weight
does not exceed the Stand maximum capacity.

1. Lock both Legs (1/9) in lowered position
with two Leg Lock Pins (15) per Leg
secured in place with R-pins (16).

2. Remove the Pin (12) from
the Column (4).

3. Determine the thread type and
length of bolts (not included) needed
to thread into the engine block.
Use grade 8 bolts that are long enough
to fit through the Arms and thread as
deeply as possible into the engine block.

4. Align the Short and Long Arms (7/8)
with four mounting bolt
locations on the engine.

WARNING! Use all four Arms when
attaching an engine to the Stand.

5. Place the bolts (not included) through
the Mounting Plate (6) side and securely
tighten them into the engine.
The bolt heads must press
against the back of the Arms:
if needed, use flat washers
(not included) as spacers.

6. Tighten the Bolts (10) and Nuts that
hold the Short and Long Arms (7/8)
to the Mounting Plate (6) securely.

7. Slowly lower the hoist/engine crane
(sold separately) until all the engine’s
weight is held by the stand.

8. Safely release the engine from
the hoist/engine crane.

9. Slowly rotate the engine to the
desired angle and insert the Pin (12)
into the top of the Column (4).

Rotating Engine

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Be prepared for sudden engine
movement before removing Pin. Stay clear of engine.

1. While holding onto the Handle (5)
and the engine to prevent it from
accidental rotation, remove Pin (12).

Removing Engine

1. With assistance, rotate the
engine to its initial position.

2. Secure the engine properly to the crane.
Use the crane to support all of the
engine’s weight directly overhead,
but do not start lifting the engine stand.

2. Use assistance to rotate the engine
to the desired angle and insert the
Pin (12) into the top of the Column (4).

3. Once the engine is properly
supported by the crane,
remove the bolts securing the
Short and Long Arms (21) to the engine.
