OPERATION
1. Determine the location of the two engine support bolts
on your vehicle. Then place the Engine transverse
bar directly over these two bolts.
2. Adjust the boom extension (#2) to ensure that both
legs (#13 & 14) are sitting inside the fender of the
engine compartment.
If the inside fender lips are more than 61" apart
apart, the Engine Transverse Bar must not be
used. Do not exceed the designated marking (61").
Over-extending could cause the Engine Support Bar
to collapse, resulting in personal injury or property
damage.
3. Adjust to ensure the support arm (#10) is in correct
position. The rubber tip of the adjustable leg (#6)
should be on a flat, reinforced surface capable of
supporting the weight of engine. Tighten both wing
nuts (#4 & 8) to secure the adjustable leg (#6) and
support arm (#10).
4. Lower the threaded hooks (#3) to appropriate position.
Ensure that the hooks are directly over the engine
support bolts or brackets; therefore the engine does
not swing when vehicle is disassembled.
5. Attach the looped ends of the two 1/8" braided
steel cables (#12) to the engine support bolts on
the engine and loop middle of braided cables over
hooks. If the engine being supported is equipped with
engine lift brackets, hook the hooks (#3) directly into
engine lift brackets for extra protection.
Note: Use only fasteners rated Grade 5 or higher as
engine support bolts.
6. Tighten the barrel hex. nuts (#7) on both hooks
until cables are snug or hex. nuts are tight against
support bar.
7. Double check that engine is properly supported
before disassemble the vehicle.
