Description
The Engine Leveler is a device to be used between an overhead lifting hoist and an unevenly weighted
load such as an auto engine with transmission intact. The device is designed to increase efficiency in a
variety of hoisting applications by allowing the operator to lift off-center loads and adjust the working
angle of the loads.
Owner/User Responibility
he owner and/or user must have an understanding of the manufacturer’s operating instructions and
warnings before using this engine leverer. Personnel involved in the use and operation of equipment shall
be careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and ist proper use

Inspection
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the engine leverer, checking for damaged, losse or
missing parts. Each sling must be inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately, if
accidentally subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any sling 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 sling be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective
parts, decals or warning labels be replaced manufacturer’s specified parts.

Operating
To remove an auto or truck engine with transmission
intact, first uncouple the transmission and remove
motor mount bolts. With the Engine Leverer hooked
to an overhead hoist above the engine, attach the
L-shape connections at the end of the four (4)
chains (choose one of the two holes provided) to the
engine head bolts – two at front, both sides, and two
at rear, both sides. Using the engine hoist, take up
slack in chain carefully. Lift a few inches and check
load balance. To reach the desired angle for load
balance, adjust the position of the movable fulcrum
in the beam by turning the 1“ hex adjusting nut at
end of the worm shaft with a ratchet wrench. Then
carefully lift out the engine and transmission. By
turning the handle one direction or the other, the
suspended engine and transmission can the be
tipped only enough to remove. Reverse the above
steps to reinstall repaired engine transmission. For
this and other types of loads, make sure all
connections are tight and secure before operating the hoist.
The following operational instructions are recommended to prevent serious personal injury or
damage.
Never use this Engine Leverer with an engine host having a capacity of less than 1 ton!
