3. If possible, attach the chains provided, directly onto the engine lifting 

points. Refer to the manufacturers handbook to identify the attachment 
points.

4. Otherwise, attach an appropriate sling or chain to the engine lifting points, 

and then attach these to the chain provided. Wrap the chain around the 
lifting hooks.

5. Manoeuvre the chain/sling so that the lift will be even, in order for the 

engine to be held level and square once the engine mountings have been 
removed.

6. Once satisfied that the arrangement is secure, tighten the knobs, then turn 

the handles to raise the lifting hooks, which will take the weight of the 
engine. Do not to continue if the engine or engine/gearbox assembly is not 
free to move.

NOTE: 

Tensioning is usually carried out immediately prior to the final 

release of the engine mountings. To judge if the weight has been 
taken sufficiently, slacken off the engine mounting bolts before 
tensioning the engine support. Then, as you continue to unscrew 
the engine mounting bolts, turn the handle until you find the spot 
where they are easiest to turn. This indicates that full weight is 
taken by the engine support. You may have to turn the handles to 
and fro a few times until the correct position is found.

IMPORTANT: When turning the handle to take the load, pay particular 
attention to the chain/sling arrangement to ensure that no damage occurs 
to engine components as the chain/sling tightens.

7. Do not leave the engine support unattended whilst it is supporting the 

weight of the engine.

8. Wherever possible, use both slings in order to help spread the weight of the 

engine.

MAINTENANCE

Always inspect the equipment before use for visible signs of damage, worn or 
missing parts.

Check the beam for cracks and distortion.

Inspect the chains and hooks for damage or distortion. If any is apparent have 
them replaced.
