SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS
WARNING:The use of portable automotive lifting and support
devices is 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.
1. Read, study and understand all instructions before operating.
2. Inspect the engine stand before each use. DO NOT use if damaged,
altered, modified, in poor condition, or has loose or missing
hardware or components. Take corrective action before using the
engine stand.
3. DO NOT use beyond rated capacity
4. Use only on hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
5. Make sure all mounting hardware is securely tightened and setup
is stable before rotating engine.

6. Always use high strength SAE grade 8 bolts for mounting engine to
mounting head fingers.
7. Make sure widest set of mounting head fingers are nearest the
ground when mounting engine to stand.
8. Assure the load is centered, balanced and secured to the mounting
head and fingers. The engine’s weight should be balanced within
one inch of the mounting head’s rotational axis.
9. Never loosen mounting head bolts or engine mounting bolts unless
engine is supported by a crane or hoist.
10. Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by OEMTOOLS shall be
used.
11. DO NOT use stand to dolly or transport engine.
12. DO NOT crawl under engine or place any part of your body under
engine at any time.
13. Refer to engine manufacturer’s service manual for proper lifting
points, mounting points and bolt sizes. Mounting bolts should be
torqued at appropriate amount to maintain load.
14. This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
15. Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal
personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING:Failure to read this manual completely and
thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS,
SAFETY WARNINGS, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE and comply with
them, and failure to comply with the SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS could cause accidents resulting in serious or fatal
personal injury and/or property damage.
Always verify that the product and application are compatible.
Never load the engine stand with an engine that extends beyond an
imaginary line drawn connecting the centerlines of the front and rear
wheel/ caster axles as shown in exploded view on page 4.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN
ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Attach side legs (2) to rear frame (3) with four bolts (4) and two
bolts (7), and four washers (5) and four nuts (6).
2. Attach main post (1) to rear frame (3) with four bolts (4), four
washers (5) and four nuts (6).
3. Insert mounting plate (8) into collar at top of main post (1) and
secure with locking pin (9).
4. Attach the four mounting arms (10) to mounting plate (8) with four
nuts (6), four bolts (11), four washers (5) and four washers (12).
5. Screw in handle (13) to back of mounting plate (8).
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:DO NOT mount engine to mounting plate (8) unless
locking pin (9) is in place and secured.
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 componenets, wires or hoses obstruct the free mo ement of
the engine. Raise the engine high enough so its center of balance is
close to the rotational axis of the 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 the
full weight of the engine. To check engine balance and secure
setup of the engine to the stand, slowly rotate the engine by turning
the handle (13). If balance or set up 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 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 stand, connect the lifting bar or
sling to the crane or hoist and raise the engine high enough to
take the weight off of the stand. Carefully remove the bolts that
connect the four mounting fingers to the engine. Be aware there
will be a slight movement of the stand as the total engine weight is
transferred to the crane or hoist.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
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 engine stand must be
cleaned of water, snow, sand or grit before using.
2. Lubricate the wheels, casters, zerk fittings, gear and rotating shaft
with a general purpose grease.
3. Every engine stand owner is responsible for keeping the engine
stand label clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash
the external sufaces of the stand. Contact OEMTOOLS for a
replacement label if your stand’s label is not readable.
4. Inspect the stand before each use. DO NOT use the stand if any
component is cracked, broken or bent. DO NOT use the stand if it
has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in
any way. Take corrective action before using the stand again.
DISPOSAL
1. At the end of the useful life of the Engine Stand, dispose of the
components according to all state, federal, and local regulations.
2. All technicians opening the refrigeration circuit in automotive air
conditioning systems must now be certified in refrigerant recovery
and recycling procedures to be in compliance with Section 609
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. For information on
certification call MACS Worldwide at [phone].
