SAFETY INFORMATION
The following explanations are displayed in this manual, on the labeling, and on all other information provided with this product:
ENGINE CRANE CAN TIP OR COLLAPSE CAUSING SEVERE INJURY!
• DO NOT attempt to move Engine Crane on sloped surfaces while loaded.
• DO NOT concentrate a heavy load to either side or end of the Engine Crane. This can cause the balance to shift suddenly, tipping the
Engine Crane and its load which can quickly cause severe injury and property damage!
• DO NOT exceed the rated 4000 lbs. [1814 kg.] weight capacity.
• DO NOT use to support humans or animals.
• DO NOT climb on the Engine Crane.
• DO NOT use the Engine Crane to support items other than engines or other heavy, concentrated loads.
• DO NOT attempt to transport this Engine Crane with a load attached by any hauling method.
• DO NOT use with lifting devices and/or chains, cables or ropes that are frayed, twisted, kinked or otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT remove or cover any of the factory supplied labels or warnings! They include specific safety information that must be com-
municated to future users.
FALL HAZARD!
• Awkward, out of balance body positions may be attempted while trying to reach specific areas of objects placed on the Engine Crane
during use. Failure to ensure proper footing can quickly result in a fall which could inflict serious personal injury or property damage.
PINCH/CRUSH HAZARD!
• This Engine Crane has moveable components that can crush and pinch. Keep fingers and hands away from pinch points when operat-
ing.

ASSEMBLY PREPARATION
• Obtaining the assistance of a helper during assembly is necessary. DO NOT attempt to construct this Engine Crane without assistance!
• The use of ANSI approved safety shoes, head protection gear and eye protection is necessary.
• Perform assembly in a large, uncluttered area close to area of intended usage.
• Allow sufficient area for operator and helper to remain clear when choosing operating area.
• Use only on a smooth, level and clean work surface. DO NOT use on a sloped or rough textured surface, earth, grass, sand, gravel or any other loose or
unstable surface.
• DO NOT attempt to move Engine Crane on sloped surfaces while loaded.
• Use Extreme Caution when raising or lowering the Lifting Boom while the Engine Crane is supporting a load.
ASSEMBLY
SWIVEL CASTERS [B] & [C] TO BASE [A]
Note that there are 2 sizes of Casters: Four 3-1/2” Swivel Casters [B] and Two 3” Swivel Casters [C].
1. Place the Base [A] upside down, resting on the floor (FIG 1).
2. Align the four holes of each large 3-1/2” Swivel Caster [B] with those in the boxed section of the Base [A] and secure them with eight M8 x 20mm
Hex Head Bolts, M8 Washers and Nuts using two 14mm wrenches (not included)
(FIG 1).
3. Attach the two smaller, 3” Swivel Casters [C] to the open channel section arms
of the Base [A] with eight M8 x 12mm Hex Head Bolts and M8 Washers by
securing them to the threaded holes in the Base using a 14mm wrench
(not included) (FIG 1).
SWIVEL CASTERS [B] TO LEGS [D]
1. Place the two Legs on floor with the four holes in each of the ends facing upward.
(FIG 2).
2. Align the four holes each of two of the large 3-1/2” Swivel Casters [B] with those
in the Legs [D] and secure them with eight M8 x 20mm Hex Head Bolts, M8
Washers and Nuts using two 14mm wrenches (not included) (FIG 2).
INJURY HAZARDS!
The Eastwood 2 Ton Engine Crane consists of heavy metal components (173 lbs. [78.5 kg.] assembled weight) which can cause
potentially serious injuries if allowed to drop. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during assembly.
To prevent scratches and damage to the finish of the Engine Crane components, it is strongly advisable to use cardboard, carpet,
blankets etc. covering a 4’ x 4’ area before beginning assembly.

crossmember and, with the helper continuing to support the Post, add M14
Washers and thread on two M14 Nuts.
BRACES [H] TO POST [G] AND BASE [A]
Note the angled bends at the ends of the Braces [H]. The Braces [H] are mounted at
an angle (FIG 6) and as such will have the top ends parallel with the upper Post holes
and the lower ends parallel with the inner surfaces of the Base [A] when properly
assembled.
1. Hold the upper end of the Braces [H] against the upper sides of the Post [G] and
align the holes in the Braces with the one in the Post [G] (FIG 6). Place the M16 x
