b. Keep children and bystanders away while using the Engine Support.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Personal safety

Tool use and care
a. Do not force the Engine Support. Do not try to lift more than 1,100 Pounds with it. Use the correct tool for your application. The Engine Support will do the job better and safer at or below the weight for which it israted.
b. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate it. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
c. Maintain the Engine Support. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the normal operation of the tool. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
d. Use the Engine Support in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.

2. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

3. Use the Engine Support for short-term lifting projects only. The Engine Support is not constructed to endure extended-term use.

4. Never exceed the maximum weight limit of 1100 LBS.

5. Never work on an engine that is supported only by Engine Support.
   Do not take any action that will jar, jostle, or move the engine. Moving the engine in any way creates a safety hazard and may cause the engine to fall resulting in serious personal injury or property damage.

6. Never work underneath an engine while it is supported only by Engine Support.

7. Be aware of dynamic loading! Suddenly swinging or dropping load may briefly create excess load causing the tool a failure.

8. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
   It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product but must be supplied by the operator.

The Engine Support is designed only to support the engine so that parts or mechanisms underneath the engine, which normally have limited access, can be reached.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION sections at the beginning of this manual including all the content under subheadings before setting up or using the product.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read the owner’s manual of the engine that is to be lifted and determine its lifting points accordingly.

2. Never attempt to lift a running or hot engine. Leave sufficient time for the engine to cool down completely before carrying out any further operation.

3. Park your car on a flat surface and apply the parking brake. Then check the wheels.

4. Loosen Wing Screws (G) and spread two Standing Brackets (A). Then place the Standing Brackets, on which rubber cushions have been attached, over the lips adjacent to the fender of your engine compartment and tighten the Wing Screws securely. Now center the engine support beam over the engine.

5. Attach the Chains (L) to the engine at the correct lifting points. Then loop the Chains securely to the flanges at the bottom ends of the Support Screws (K).

6. Turn the Handles (J) clockwise until the Chains are taut and the engine is held securely.

7. Loosen engine mounts. Turn the Handles (J) at a 1/4* turn clockwise for each until the entire weight ofthe engine is supported by the chains.
   Additionally, loosen/disconnect the engine mounts.

8. Never work on the engine while it is supported ONLY by the Engine Support Beam. Moving the engine when it is suspended only by the Engine Support Beam may cause the tool to fall or shift, resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

9. To prevent accidents, lower and reconnect the engine when your work is finished. The Engine SupportBeam is not intended to be used as a long-term suspension device.  Clean and store the tool indoors out of the reach of children.
