SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Drain oil and coolant and remove flywheel from engine before
mounting. Mount engine as directed in procedures which follow. Refer
to engine service manuals and technical bulletins when mounting
engines. Lift engine (block) with crane or hoist until even with head of
engine stand. Bolt through adjustable fingers to back of block at bell
housing mounting holes. Fasten securely to mounting plate. Slowly
lower crane or hoist so that the engine stand supports full weight of
engine. To check engine balance, carefully loosen hex bolt at back of
rotating head, making sure stand is secured from tipping, and turn
handle to rotate engine.
If balance is not satisfactory, rotate engine to its original position and
raise with crane or hoist just enough to take weight off the stand. Loosen
bolts on adjustable fingers and realign so that weight is evenly
distributed. Tighten all bolts securely and recheck balance. For safe and
secure operation: do not rotate engine more than 90° for any one
location of the positioning handle. In general, keep the handle within
45° of horizontal. Keep a firm hold on positioning handle while
rotating engine. To remove an engine from stand, attach a crane or
hoist and raise engine just enough to take engine weight off stand.
Carefully remove bolts attaching fingers to engine. Be aware that there
will be a slight movement of stand as total engine weight is transferred
to crane.
