operaTing insTrucTions
NOTE: Do not mount engine to mounting plate unless all
three pins, item 7, are in place and secured with latches
provided according to Assembly Instructions.
Drain oil and coolant and remove flywheel from engine
before mounting. Mount engine as directed in proce-
dures which follow. Refer to engine service manuals and
technical bulletins when mounting engines. Lift engine
(block) with crane or hoist until even with head of engine
stand. Bolt through adjustable fingers to back of block at
bell housing mounting holes. Fasten securely to mounting
plate. Slowly lower crane or hoist so that the engine stand
supports full weight of engine. To check engine balance,
carefully loosen hex bolt at back of rotating head, making
sure stand is secured from tipping, and turn handle to
rotate engine. If balance is not satisfactory, rotate engine
to its original position and raise with crane or hoist just
enough to take weight off the stand. Loosen bolts on
adjustable fingers and realign so that weight is evenly
distributed. Tighten all bolts securely and recheck balance.
To remove an engine from stand, attach a crane or hoist
and raise engine just enough to take engine weight off
stand. Carefully remove bolts attaching fingers to engine.
Be aware that there will be a slight movement of stand as
total engine weight is transferred to crane.
The engine may be rotated by turning the worm crank.
Grease before each use. The stand can be folded down
for easy storage and transportation by removing 3 pins,
item 7.
