Read and understand the Operator’s Manual
before operating this equipment.
Death or serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.
Safety Guidelines
Eye protection must be worn at all times when this machine is in use. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses
to help prevent eye injury. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get
tangled or caught in moving parts. Steel toe safety shoes must be worn.
• Maintain the machine in safe operating condition with all guards/latches/hooks in place and secure, all me-
chanical fasteners tight, all controls in working order and the machine configured for the job application. Be
sure all safety decals can be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing decals immediately.
• The EDCO Engine Hoists are designed to lift up to 1500 points on a flat, horizontal firm surface. They are
designed to be operated by a single informed operator from a safe position near the piece of equipment that is
safe from a dropped load.
• Keep a safe operating distance to other personnel in the area and never leave the machine unattended
when a load is being lifted by the engine hoist.
• Avoid unlevel surfaces and any objects protruding from firm surface when manuevering engine hoist and
engine hoist carrier with load or without load.
• Never operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that im-
pair the senses or reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Ensure load is completely secure in the hoist hook. Ensure hoist hook latch is always closed when any load
is applied. Replace hook if there is any visible damage (deep knicks, broken latch, bent hook).
• Maintain wheels/casters to ensure smooth movement when manuevering the engine hoist.
• Inspect entire engine hoist prior to every use for any visible cracks, bent components and loose hardware. If
any of the mentioned is present, do not use the engine hoist until the damage has been remedied.
• Properly maintain the hydraulic jack according to the operating instructions listed on the hydraulic jack.
https://www.usjack.com/wp-content/uploads/56064-3-Ton-Bluebird-2021-1.pdf for more info.
• This is a lifting device ONLY, the load shall be supported immediately by appropriate means.
• Do not overload, overloading can cause dever damage and/or failure of the engine hoist and its components.

INSTRUCTIONS
Unloading Carrier & Assembling Hoist
1. Familiarize yourself with the descriptions on page 6 of this manual. Following the sequence
below will allow for ease of hoist assembly (see illustrations on facing page and below).
2. Remove crane boom (decal 6) from carrier, set aside.
3. Remove right outrigger (decal 5) from the carrier right rear pocket, set aside.
4. Remove frame (decal 3) from the carrier, set aside.
5. Remove the hoist mast (decal 2) from the carrier, set aside.
6. Remove the left outrigger (decal 4) from the carrier left rear pocket, set aside.
7. Remove the jack (decal 1) from the carrier, set aside.
8. With hoist frame on firm, level surface, insert right outrigger (decal 5) in the left frame pocket
if the mast vertical pocket is on the far side. The outrigger wheel bolt should have its nut facing
outward, and both outriggers should be inserted into their pockets until the orange latch clicks
into place. The outriggers should not be removable from the frame without manually releasing the
orange latches.
9. Insert the left outrigger (decal 4) into the right frame pocket if the mast vertical pocket is on the
far side. The wheel nut should be facing outward and the latch should click positively into place.

UTILIZING HOIST, OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Securing load on Engine Hoist Swivel Hook
1. Always ensure the load is balanced evenly on the swivel hook, this will prevent slipping of the
lifted item once lifted. An uneven load could cause the engine hoist to tip and cause severe bodily
injury, possibly death, as well as property damage.
2. Ensure lifting assist items, such as, but not limited to, crane boom hooks, chains, tethers, straps,
are in good working condition with NO cuts, tears, frays and are properly rated.
3. Ensure the Swivel Hook latch is completely closed before lifting any item. This will prevent lifted
items from coming offthe hook while lifting.
4. The Swivel Hook has the ability to rotate 360° which allows for easy manevuring the lifted item
once it is lifted.
5. Lift only from areas as specified by the vehicle, equipment manufacturer. Lifting from unapproved
areas could cause property damage.
Utilizing Hydarulic Jack to lift and lower
1. To operate valve, open release valve, pump handle several times with provided jack pump handle
this will release any airbound condition. Close release valve. Utilizing pump handle begin pumping
slowly to ensure the load is safe to lift. Continue lifting to designated height. Then support with prop-
er support tools.
2. To lower load, begin by slowly rotating/opening the release valve. Ensure you operate the release
valve slowly to begin the lowering. Opening release valve rapdily, can cause property damage and
could cause loss of load.
