5.4.
MAIN POST (FIG.1.G) TO MAIN FRAME ASSEMBLY (FIG.1.A.B.C)
The Main Post (fig.1.G) is heavy, cumbersome, and will want to tip forward. Obtaining the assistance of a helper during this phase of
assembly is strongly recommended.
5.4.1.
Stand the Main Post (fig.1.G) up with the bottom resting on the Centre Beam (fig.1.A) with the welded - on ferrule facing forward.
5.4.2.
Align the through hole of the ferrule with the lower holes in the two vertical angle mounts of the Centre Beam (fig.1.A), insert a
M12 x 70mm Shoulder Bolt and secure a 12mm Flat Washer, Lock Washer and M12 Nut using two 19mm spanners (not included).
5.4.3.

Secure the pin with a 13mm x 24mm Outside diameter. Flat Washer and a Pin Clip (fig.1.J).
5.4.4.
Insert another Locking Pin (fig.1.H) through the upper holes of the vertical angle mounts of the Centre Beam (fig.1.A) and secure
the pin with a 13mm x 24mm Outside diameter. Flat Washer and a Pin Clip (fig.1.J).
5.5.
SUPPORT (FIG.1.K) TO ENGINE STAND POST/MOUNTING PLATE (FIG.1.G) AND CENTRE BEAM (FIG.1.A)
The Brace (fig.1.K) has a "U" shaped feature connecting the two rails. When properly assembled the "U" feature must be on the
underside of the Brace (fig.1.K) to allow it to fold properly.
5.5.1.
Align the through hole of the Centre Beam (fig.1.A) with holes in one end of the Support (fig.1.K), insert a M12 x 70mm Shoulder Bolt
and secure with a 12mm Flat Washer, Lock Washer and M12 Nut using two 19mm spanners (not included).
NOTE:
DO NOT fully tighten the bolts but allow some movement for Engine Stand.
5.5.2.

(fig.1.H) through. Secure the pin with a 13mm x 24mm Outside diameter. Flat Washer and a Pin Clip (fig.1.J).
5.6.
MOUNTING ARMS (FIG.1.L) TO ENGINE STAND POST/MOUNTING PLATE (FIG.1.G)
NOTE: There are 2 bolt patterns drilled into the Mounting Plate. First determine which set most closely match those of the particular engine or
transmission to be mounted then add the Mounting Arms.
5.6.1.
Arrange the bolting tube feature of the Mounting Arms (fig.1.L) outward and the offsets facing forward.
5.6.2.
Insert the M12 x 65mm Shoulder Bolts through the open loops of the Mounting Arms (fig.1.L) and secure with the four 36mm outside
diameter x 5mm thick Flat Washers (fig.1.M), Lock Washers and M12 Nuts using two 19mm spanners (not included).

6. OPERATION
6.1.
Only use mounting bolts of the equivalent grade or stronger as those supplied by the vehicle manufacturer to mount an engine,
transmission or other heavy assembly to this Stand.
6.2.
The Mounting Plate is drilled with 2 bolt patterns, one small and one large. In addition, the Mounting Arms are elongated and provide
for 90mm of adjustment and can be positioned anywhere within 360°. While these features allow for virtually unlimited combinations
of mounting possibilities, it is the responsibility of the user to determine the best mounting arrangement and to follow all safety
warnings presented in the Safety Information section of these instructions.
6.3.
The Swivel Casters are equipped with a Locking Brake Feature. These MUST be locked before adding a load to prevent unintended
movement of the Engine Stand while attaching the load.
6.4.
TO ROTATE: Carefully grasp the Hand crank and slowly rotate it which will in turn rotate the Mounting Plate with the load attached in
the desired direction.
WARNING! TIP HAZARD! Use extreme caution while rotating the Hand crank to rotate the load as a large, top-heavy engine or
‰
similar object could result in a sudden imbalance condition and cause the Engine Stand to suddenly tip.
6.5.
TO LOCK: Screw in the handwheel on the side of the worm drive unit.
6.5.1.
While rotating, always stand behind the crank end of the stand and make constant observations of the casters.
6.5.2.
If any indication of instability occurs, STOP IMMEDIATELY!
