OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Drain oil and coolant and remove flywheel from engine before
mounting. Mount engine as directed in procedures which
follow. Refer to engine service manuals and technical bulletins
when mounting engines. Lift engine (block) with crane or hoist
until even with head of engine stand. Bolt through adjustable
fingers to back of block at bell housing mounting holes. Fasten
securely to mounting plate. Slowly lower crane or hoist so that
the engine stand supports full weight of engine. To check
engine balance, carefully loosen hex bolt at back of rotating
head, making sure stand is secured from tipping, and turn
handle to rotate engine. If balance is not satisfactory, rotate
engine to its original position and raise with crane or hoist just
enough to take weight off the stand. Loosen bolts on adjustable
fingers and realign so that weight is evenly distributed. Tighten
all bolts securely and recheck balance. For safe and secure
operation: do not rotate engine more than 90° for any one
location of the positioning handle. In general, keep the handle
within 45° of horizontal. Keep a firm hold on positioning
handle while rotating engine. To remove an engine from stand,
attach a crane or hoist and raise engine just enough to take
engine weight off stand. Carefully remove bolts attaching
fingers to engine. Be aware that there will be a slight
movement of stand as total engine weight is transferred
to crane.
INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the
engine stand, checking for damaged, loose or missing parts.
Each stand must be inspected by a manufacturer’s repair
facility immediately, if accidentally subjected to an abnormal
load or shock. Any stand which appears to be damaged in
any way, 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
stand be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility
and that any defective parts, decals or warning labels be
replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts. A list of
authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.
