SAFETY

WARNING! Ensure all Health and Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are strictly adhered to when using this equipment.
√ Before using the stand ensure it is in good working order.
√ Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
√ Keep the stand clean for best and safest performance.
√ Locate the stand in a suitable work area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate lighting.
√ Use on a firm, level surface capable of sustaining the stand and the load.
√ Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
√ Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the stand is in use.
√ Lock mounting plate in position with locking pin before fixing a load and ensure the load is centered and securely mounted on the mounting plate.
√ When an engine is mounted, take the weight of the engine on the handle before removing the locking pin.
√ Ensure the stand and load are stable.
√ To move a loaded stand, steady the load and push from behind the main post of the stand so that the castor wheels are ahead of the load.
DO NOT pull the unit backward, or push from the side, as this may cause the stand to tip.
DO NOT concentrate a heavy load to either side or end of the Engine Stand. This can cause the balance to shift suddenly, tipping the Engine Stand and its load which can quickly cause severe injury and property damage!
√  Ensure the surface over which the stand is to travel is strong enough to take the stand and load and that it is not cracked, uneven, sloped or obstructed.
DO NOT use unit if damaged.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the stand.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of 450kg.
DO NOT use to support humans or animals.
DO NOT climb on the Engine Stand.
DANGER! DO NOT work under an engine mounted on the stand.
DO NOT use the stand for purposes other than those for which it is designed.
√  When not in use store stand in a safe, dry, childproof area.
√  Use extreme caution while rotating the hand crank to rotate the load as a large, top-heavy engine or similar object could result in a sudden imbalance condition and cause the Engine Stand to suddenly tip.
DANGER! While rotating, always stand behind the crank end of the stand and make constant observations of the casters. If any indication of instability occurs, STOP IMMEDIATELY! PINCH/CRUSH HAZARD!
√  This Engine Stand has moveable components that can crush and pinch. Keep fingers and hands away from pinch points when operating.

INTRODUCTION

5.3.3. Add a moderate amount of a heavy-bodied chassis grease to the Internal diameter and outside diameter of the 35mm x 10mm Bushing Sleeves (fig.1.E).
5.3.4. Insert one each of the 35mm x 10mm Bushing Sleeves (fig.1.E) into the centre bore of each Fixed Caster (fig.1.F).
5.3.5. Raise the Rear end of the Frame Assembly to allow the two Fixed Casters (fig.1.F) to fit between the mounting tabs.
5.3.6. Align the holes and Place one each of the M8 x 65mm Shoulder Bolts into the holes of the mounting tabs and each Fixed Caster  (fig.1.F) and secure with two each 8mm Flat Washers, Lock Washers and M8 Nuts using two 14mm spanners (not included).
5.4. MAIN POST (FIG.1.G) TO MAIN FRAME ASSEMBLY (FIG.1.A.B.C)
The Main Post (fig.1.G) is heavy, cumbersome, and will want to tip forward. Obtaining the assistance of a helper during this phase of assembly is strongly recommended.
5.4.1. Stand the Main Post (fig.1.G) up with the bottom resting on the Centre Beam (fig.1.A) with the welded – on ferrule facing forward.
5.4.2. Align the through hole of the ferrule with the lower holes in the two vertical angle mounts of the Centre Beam (fig.1.A), insert a

OPERATION

6.1. Only use mounting bolts of the equivalent grade or stronger as those supplied by the vehicle manufacturer to mount an engine, transmission or another heavy assembly to this Stand.
6.2. The Mounting Plate is drilled with 2 bolt patterns, one small and one large. In addition, the Mounting Arms are elongated and provide for 90mm of adjustment, and can be positioned anywhere within 360°. While these features allow for virtually unlimited combinations of mounting possibilities, it is the responsibility of the user to determine the best mounting arrangement and to follow all safety warnings presented in the Safety Information section of these instructions.
6.3. The Swivel Casters are equipped with a Locking Brake Feature. These MUST be locked before adding a load to prevent unintended movement of the Engine Stand while attaching the load.
6.4. TO ROTATE: Carefully grasp the Hand crank and slowly rotate it which will, in turn, rotate the Mounting Plate with the load attached in the desired direction.
WARNING! TIP HAZARD! Use extreme caution while rotating the Hand crank to rotate the load as a large, top-heavy engine or similar object could result in a sudden imbalance condition and cause the Engine Stand to suddenly tip.
6.5. TO LOCK: Screw in the handwheel on the side of the worm drive unit.
6.5.1. While rotating, always stand behind the crank end of the stand and make constant observations of the casters.
