5. OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure that legs are down and secured in the lowered position.
‰
5.1.
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.
5.2.
Once the stand is in position and before mounting the engine to the frame, lower the Support Feet (item 42) to remove weight
bearing load on the castors (fig.1).
5.3.
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.
5.4.
The Swivel Castors 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.
5.5.
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. When the unit is positioned as required, lock the Hand Crank in place using the handwheel (item 39)(fig.2)
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.
5.6.
TO PREVENT UNDUE ROTATION: Screw in the handwheel (item 39) on the side of the worm drive unit (fig.2).
5.6.1.
While rotating, always stand behind the crank end of the stand and make constant observations of the castors.
WARNING! If any indication of instability occurs, STOP IMMEDIATELY!
