Mounting Engine

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

1. Position Stand on a flat, level, hard and smooth surface capable of supporting the weight of Stand and engine. Lock Locking Swivel Casters.

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

3. Remove Lock Pin (12) from Support Post (4).

4. 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.

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

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

7. Tighten Bolts (10) and Nuts (29) that hold Mounting Arms to the Mounting Plate (6) securely.

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

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

10. Slowly rotate engine to desired angle and insert Lock Pin (12) on top of Support Post (4).

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use all four Arms when attaching an engine to the Stand.

Rotating Engine

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

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

Removing Engine

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