1. Consult% the% vehicle% or% engine% manufacturer% for% the% engine’s% centre% of% gravity.% The%
engine’s%centre%of%gravity%will%have%to%be%aligned%with%the%rotational%axis%of%the%engine%

2. Remove%the%clutch%bell%housing%from%the%engine%and%secure%any%other%engine%parts%
that%might%be%loose%or%hanging%from%the%engine.%
3. Remove%the%adjustment%knob%from%the%side%of%the%engine%stand%and%extend%the%“T”%
