ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES
The 1019T 500kg Engine Support Bar accepts a wide variety of engines and transmissions.
This engine support bar comes with everything needed to perform work on your engine or
transmission, including a steel beam, standing brackets, adjusting screw, rubber-moulded
cushion, steel chain with handles, hooks and hardware. The rubber padded support legs
prevent slips as well as damage to paint. The engine support is designed only to support
the engine so that parts or mechanisms underneath the engine, which normally have
limited access, can be reached.
2. BEFORE USE
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection by checking for abnormal conditions, such as
cracked joints and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual of the engine to be lifted to determine the
lifting points.
2. Park the car on a flat surface, apply the parking brakes and chock the wheels.
3. Never try to move a running or hot engine. Allow sufficient time for the engine to
cool down entirely before beginning any operations.
4. Loosen Spreader Knobs (2) and adjust Standing Block (1) and Bracket (8), to locate
rubber cushions over the gutter lips adjacent to the fenders of the car.
5. Centre the Engine Support Bar assembly over the engine and tighten the Spreader
Knobs (2)
6. Attach the Chain (9) to the engine at the appropriate lifting points, then loop the
Chain securely to the flange on the bottom of the Adjustable Screw Hook (5).
7. Turn the Screw Hook Handle (4) clockwise until the Chain is taut and the engine is
held securely.
8. Loosen engine mounts. Turn the Screw Hook Handle (4) at 1/4 clockwise turns until
the entire engine’s weight is supported by the chains. Continue to loosen and
disconnect the engine mounts.
9. Never work on the engine while it is supported only by the Engine Support Bar.
Moving the engine whilst it is suspended only by the Engine Support Bar can cause
the Engine Support Bar to fail or shift, resulting in serious personal injury and/or
property damage.
10. To prevent accidents, lower and reconnect the engine when finished working. The
Engine Support Bar is not intended to be used as a long-term suspension device.
11. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
12. Always use a good quality under bonnet work light that illuminates the work area.
