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
pivoting center is at the same
level as the engine stand. Slide
the pivoting centre of the mount
into the engine stand. Replace
the locating pin to secure the
mounting.
8. Slowly lower the engine hoist so
that the engine stand starts to support the weight of the engine. Double-
check all fasteners and be sure that the engine stand is locked in place.
9. Once you are confident that the stand is supporting the weight of the
engine, disconnect the hoist. Now that the engine is mounted to the stand
it can be rotated around to access all sides of the engine. Use the locking
pin to lock the engine at one of four different working angles.
MAINTENANCE
1. Always visually inspect the stand before use, to ensure that all parts are
correctly located and secure. Check for cracks, deformation or other signs
of damage and check the castors for damage. Do not use the stand
unless it is totally sound.
2. Check castors to ensure they move freely without undue wear to their
pivots, and that the wheels are not cracked or damaged.
3. Remove any rust or corrosion and repaint for protection.
