OPERATING THE ENGINE STAND 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 stand’s mounting head assembly. 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” base so that it is about 150mm farther than the engine when the engine is mounted to the stand. Fasten the four engine adaptor fingers to the engine using the proper bolt thread size and length. Remember to use grade 5, metric 8.8 bolts or better. Do not tighten the bolts. 4. Align the rotational axis of the mounting plate assembly as close as possible to the engine’s centre of gravity. Tighten the four bolts that secure the engine adaptor arms to the engine and the bolts, flat washers and nuts that connect the other end of the engine adaptor arms to the mounting plate assembly. 5. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling to the engine and raise the engine with a workshop crane or lifting device with a load capacity that can adequately handle the engine weight. Once the engine is lifted to the desired height, slowly push the engine with the mounting plate assembly pointing toward the drive shaft of the engine stand. Insert the stand’s drive shaft into the receiver on the mounting plate. Turn the stand’s gear box handle wheel until the threaded holes in the drive shaft align with the holes in the mounting plate receiver. Once aligned, secure with the bolts and lock washers provided. 6. Make sure the setup is stable and then, slowly and carefully remove the workshop crane or engine lifting device. REMOVING ENGINES 1. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling to the engine. Connect the bar or sling to a workshop crane or lifting device and slowly lift the engine just enough to take pressure off the engine stand. 2. Remove the bolts and lock washers that secure the mounting plate to the stand’s drive shaft. Slide the drive shaft out of the mounting plate receiver and slowly and carefully manoeuvre the engine away from the stand. 3. Unscrew the four bolts that secure the adapter arms to the engine.
