BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE, READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY, UNDERSTAND ITS OPERATING
PROCEDURES, SAFETY WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS.
It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all personnel read this manual prior to using the device. It is also the responsibility of the
device owner to keep this manual intact and in a convenient location for all to see and read. If the manual or product labels are lost or

THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of attachments, adapters, and accessories with portable automotive lifting devices are subject to certain hazards that cannot be
prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and
personnel involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the
equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads,
overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• Inspect before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition or has loose or missing components.
Take corrective action before using.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• This product was not designed for overhead lifting applications. Stay out from under a load being lifted or suspended.
• Support device only. Install or remove the engine support tool only after lifting and securing the engine
• Do not spread the load bearing chains more than a total of 90°.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Assure the load is secured to the device.
• Make sure tool foot contact points can support the load.
• Attach all four chains to the load being lifted.
• Position the tool on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• No alterations shall be made to this device.
• Use only replacement parts approved by the manufacturer.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
The load leveler is designed to be used with a portable shop crane to handle and position engines and other large vehicle components. The drive
screw adjusts the sling's lift point in relation to the mounting chains to compensate for off-center loads, or adjusts to a certain angle for component
removal or installation.
1. Attach the shop crane's hook or attachment device to the oval link at the top of the sling's lifting block. Make sure the connection is secure.
2. Lift only on the areas of the engine or component as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Make sure that all four chains are securely fastened to
the load.
3. Before lifting make sure that all fuel and electrical lines and components are clear of the load.
4. Lift the load just high enough to locate the center of balance or the desired angle in which the load can be removed. This adjustment is
accomplished by turning the sling's drive screw in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
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.
IMPORTANT: Any leveler found to be defective as a result of worn parts due to lack of lubrication is not eligible for warranty consideration.
1. Always store the leveler in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other
harmful elements.
2. The leveler must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to the threads
on the screw.
3. Every sling owner is responsible for keeping its label clean and readable.
4. Do not attempt to make any repairs unless you are a qualified repair person that is familiar with this equipment.
