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. Lock both Legs in Lowered Position with two Leg Pins (13) per Leg secured in place with R-pins (14).
   Lock all casters (15) in place. See Figure E.
   

2. Remove the Choke (30) from the Column (2). See Figure F.
   

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. Loosen bolts holding Mounting Arms (25) and align them with four mounting bolt locations on the engine.
   WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use all four Arms when attaching an engine to the Stand.

5. Place the bolts (not included) through the Mounting Plate (24) 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 (37), Nuts (38), and Washers (36, 29) that hold the Mounting Arms (25) to the Mounting Plate (24) 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 Choke (30) into the top of the Column (2).

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

1. While holding onto the Handcrank, slowly turn the crank. This will rotate Mounting Plate with load attached in desired direction.
2. Use extreme caution while rotating the Handcrank.

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.

3. Once the engine is properly supported by the crane, remove the bolts securing the Mounting Arms (25) to the engine.

Maintenance and Servicing

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM STAND FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. Make sure the stand is stable. If any unsafe conditions are found, take it to a qualified technician for service or repair.

1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Stand. Check it for cracks, bends in the metal, signs of unusual wear or any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If any are found, do not use the Stand.
2. Keep Engine Stand clean and free of dirt or grease.
3. Before each use, check that hardware is securely fastened.
4. Check that the Casters are clean and turn properly.
5. AFTER USE, clean external surfaces of the stand with a clean, moist cloth.

Folding the Stand for Storage

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not use the Stand while it is folded. This is only for compact storage.

2. Remove Leg Lock Pins (13).

3. Lift Leg into vertical position. See Figure G.
