Operation Safety
To reduce the risk of property damage,
serious personal injury, or death when
using this engine crane, take the following
precautions:
Do not overload this engine crane
beyond its load rating.
Never allow anyone to work under a
load supported by an engine crane. Use
jack stands to support the load.
ONLy use this engine crane on a hard
level surface capable of sustaining the
load being lifted.
Only connect lifting hooks, fasteners,
chains, or straps at points that can
safely support the load and prevent
unpredictable load swing or shift.
Always make sure that when the engine
or load is about to be hoisted that the
floor is clean and all tripping hazards
are removed.
Always apply the parking brake, and
use wheel chocks against the tires to
prevent accidental rolling when engines
are being removed or installed.
Keep as much of your body as possible
out from underneath the vehicle when
repositioning or removing jack stands.
Never modify this engine crane.
Any engine crane cylinder repair
must only be performed by a qualified
hydraulic specialist.
Never lower the boom quickly so the
load drops and slams onto a pallet or
the floor.
Never allow children to play with or
near the engine crane while in use or in
storage.
Never attempt to roll the engine crane
with the boom in the raised position or
the load and crane may tip due to a high
center of gravity. Only move with the
load as low as possible.
