Parts List & Operating Instructions
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
•
Study, understand, and follow the safety precautions and operating instructions included
with this equipment. If the operator cannot read these instructions, the safety precautions
and operating instructions must be read and discussed in the operator's native language.
•
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
•
To maintain shear strength specifications, use grade 5 cap screws to mount adapters or
engines.
•
Tapped holes in adapters and engine blocks must be clean and not damaged to ensure full
thread engagement. A thread length engagement equal to 1
required to maintain strength requirements.
•
Do not exceed the 1,000 lb. maximum capacity of this engine stand. (Maximum capacity is
determined with the center of the engine located not more than 18" from the engine stand
mounting hub surface.)
•
Stay out from underneath a load being lifted or suspended.
•
The engine must be securely mounted on the repair stand with the hitch pin and turning bar
in place and all mounting hardware torqued to specified values.
1. Place the upright post (17) on the floor.
2. Position the axle tube (16) against the angle iron bracket on the base of the upright post, aligning the bolt holes. Insert
the hex hd. cap screw (2) through the holes far enough to connect the two pieces.
3. Insert the front leg (14) into the hollow base of the upright post. Tighten the cap screw (assembled in step 2) until it
travels completely through the tube, post, and leg, and all three parts are securely fastened together.
4. Attach the swivel casters (18) and nuts (1) to the front leg. Tighten the nuts.
5. Assemble the following parts on each end of the axle in the order listed: washer (6), wheel (19), washer (6), locknut (9).
6. Slide the tubular end of the mounting plate (15) into the cylindrical top of the upright post. Install the hitch pin (10)
and turning bar (13) through the post and mounting plate. Secure with the cotterless hitch pin (20).
7. Use cap screws (8) and washer (3) to loosely attach the four mounting brackets (11) to the mounting plate.
Mounting the Engine to the Engine Stand
1. Determine the engine's center of gravity.
2. Remove the engine clutch bell housing.
3. Remove the mounting plate (with brackets loosely attached) from the engine stand. Using either the
screws, fasten the four brackets to the engine. Do not tighten the screws.
4. Position the mounting plate axis of rotation as close as possible to the engine's center of gravity.
5. Tighten the four cap screws holding the brackets to the engine; tighten the four cap screws holding the brackets to
the mounting plate.
6. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling to the engine. Using a suitable lifting device, maneuver the engine toward the stand.
7. Insert the tubular end of the mounting plate into the stand. Install the hitch pin and turning bar, and torque the mounting
hardware to specified values. Slowly and carefully remove the engine lifting device.
8. Tighten the locknuts to lock the wheels and make the engine stand immobile before servicing the engine.
Removing the Engine from the Engine Stand
1. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling suspended from a suitable lifting device to the engine.
2. Remove the turning bar and hitch pin from the engine stand, and slowly pull the mounting plate out of the engine
stand.
3. Maneuver the engine away from the engine stand, and unscrew the four cap screws holding the mounting bracket to
the engine.
Preventive Maintenance: Periodically clean and lubricate the wheels, casters, and tubular end of the mounting plate.
(Use a low temperature grease.)
