10. Ensure that all weight is spread evenly across all sections, making sure that 

all wheels/castors are on level ground and that the assembly is sitting 
square and true. Tighten all nuts and bolts.

11. Store the operating handle in the socket provided when not in use.

MOUNTING THE ENGINE TO THE STAND

1. The mounting plate has four 

adjustable arms with long bolt 
holes. This is where the engine will 
mount to the engine stand, using 
suitable bolts which are 
compatible with threaded holes 
in the engine block.

2. If the bellhousing bolts are too 

short, obtain bolts that have the 
same diameter and thread pitch. 
Ideally, the bolts must be long 
enough to go through the engine  
mounting arms and go at least 
one inch into the engine block.

3. Lift the engine with your engine 

hoist and move it towards the 
engine stand.

4. Remove the locating pin, then 

remove the mounting plate 
assembly from the engine stand.

5. Using compatible bolts, pass them 

through the mounting arms and bolt them to the engine where the 
transmission was mounted to the block. Mount two arms low down on the 
engine and bolt the other two as high as possible.

6. Adjust the arms on the engine stand mounts so that the centre of the 

mounting plate is aligned with the centre of the engine crankshaft. By 
doing this you can ensure that the engine is balanced on the stand. 
Tighten the bolts securely.

7. Lower the engine until the spindle is at the same level as the engine stand. 

Slide the spindle of the mounting plate into the engine stand. Replace the 
locating pin to secure the mounting.

8. Slowly lower the engine so that the engine stand starts to support the 

weight of the engine. Double-check all fasteners and be sure that the 
engine is secure.
