SETUP
Please refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 in this manual in order to identify parts:
1. First, install the casters (#6 and #7) to the front and rear legs (#1 and #15) using the hardware items (#3, #4, and #5), being sure to insert bolts from
the bottom side of caster plate.
IMPORTANT: All hardware that assembles items (#1, #11, #15, and #39) together should be assembled loosely to ensure all bolts and pins fit
through their designated holes.
2. Attach the center beam assembly (#11) to the leg assemblies (#1 and #15) using hardware items (#8, #9, and #10).
3. Next, attach one end of brace (#14) to the center beam (#11) using hardware items (#8, #9, and #10). Make sure position of brace is as shown in
diagram.
4. PIace post (#39) with gear box assembly onto base assembly as follows: Stand the post on the base and attach by passing bolt (#8) through
middle hole in the center beam assembly and welded bushing at the bottom of the post (#39). Secure with hardware items (#8, #9, and #10). Then
pass pins (#12) through the hole in the beam bracket and the hole in the rear leg assembly. Secure pins with clips (#13).
5. Attach the end of the brace (#14) to the post using the hardware items (#8, #9, and #10).
6. Now tighten all hardware that assembles items (#1, #11, #15 and #39) together.
7. Rotate the worm box (#24) so its three holes line up with the holes in the post (#39) and secure them with the hardware (#22 and #23) provided.
The worm box (#24) should be positioned as shown in the diagram.
8. Secure fingers (#16) to mounting head with hardware (#9, #10, #17, #18 and #19) provided.
9. To fold engine stand, simply remove the two pins (#12) and clips (#13), fold brace forward, and then fold post forward. The pins and clips can be
stored in open holes.
OPERATION
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death. IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle
service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
1. Consult the vehicle or engine manufacturer for service manuals and or technical bulletins that provide information on suggested engine mounting
tips, proper size and type mounting bolts and the engine’s center of balance. The engine’s center of balance will have to be aligned with the
rotational axis of the engine stand’s mounting head assembly.
2. Drain oil and coolant and remove clutch bell housing and flywheel from engine before mounting. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling to the engine
and secure the bar or sling to a shop crane or hoist. Slowly lift the engine from its compartment making sure no other vehicle components, wires
or hoses obstruct the free movement of the engine. Raise the engine high enough so its center of balance is close to the rotational axis of the
engine stand’s mounting head.
3. Make sure, the four mounting head fingers are loosely connected to the mounting head plate. Secure the four mounting head fingers to the bell
housing end of the engine with the appropriate bolts and washers. Reposition the mounting head, fingers and engine so the engine’s center of
balance is within one inch of the mounting head’s rotational axis. Tighten all bolts to a sufficient torque requirement that prevents any slippage.
4. Slowly lower the crane or hoist so the engine stand supports full weight of the engine. To check engine balance and secure setup of the engine
to the engine stand, slowly rotate the engine by turning the gear crank handle. If balance or setup are not stable, rotate the engine to its
original position, raise the crane or hoist so the weight of the engine is removed from the engine stand and make the correct adjustments.
After adjustments are made, tighten all bolts. This adjustment procedure may have to be duplicated several times until correct. After the setup is
balanced and secure, the lifting bar or sling can be removed from crane or hoist.
5. To remove the engine from the engine stand, connect the lifting bar or sling to the crane or hoist and raise the engine high enough to take the
weight off the engine stand. Carefully remove the bolts that connect the four mounting fingers to the engine. Be aware there will be a slight
movement of engine stand as total engine weight is transferred to crane or hoist.
6. This engine stand has a folding feature that can save space or make storage easy. Just remove both pins (#12) and their clips (#13) so the brace
(#14) and post (#39) can fit flat on top of the center beam assembly (#11). The pins and clips can be stored in the open holes.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the engine stand in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any
other harmful elements. The stand must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. Lubricate the wheels, casters, zerk fittings, gear and rotating shaft with a general purpose grease.
3. Every stand owner is responsible for keeping the device labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the
device. Contact Cornwell Tools for a replacement label if the device's label is not readable.
INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the engine stand, checking for damaged, loose or missing parts. Each engine stand must be
inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately, if subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any stand which appears to be damaged in any
way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturer’s
authorized repair facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the stand be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that
any defective parts, decals or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the
manufacturer.
