OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
The Engine Sling is designed to be used with a portable shop crane to handle and position engines and other large vehicle
components. The drive screw adjusts the sling's lift point in relation to the mounting chains to compensate for off-center loads,
or adjusts to a certain angle for component removal or installation.
1. Attach the shop crane's hook or attachment device to the oval link at the top of the sling's lifting block. Make sure the connection
is secure.
2. Lift only on the areas of the engine or component as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Make sure that all four chains are
securely fastened to the load.
3. Before lifting make sure that all fuel and electrical lines and components are clear of the load.
4. Lift the load just high enough to locate the center of balance or the desired angle in which the load can be removed. This
adjustment is accomplished by turning the sling's drive screw in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the Engine Sling in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The Engine Sling must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other
foreign matter before using.
2. The Engine Sling must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be
applied to the threads on the screw.
3. Every Engine Sling owner is responsible for keeping its label clean and readable.
4. Do not attempt to make any repairs unless you are a qualified repair person that is familiar with this equipment.
Important:
Any Engine Sling found to be defective as a result of worn parts due to lack of lubrication is not eligible for warranty
consideration.
