Preparing Work Area
Caution: Before using the Engine Leveller, it is important to prepare work area properly. Follow this procedure each time
the Leveller is used to help prevent property damage and or serious injury.
1.
Thoroughly inspect Engine Leveller for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded Leveller before
using to support any load. If Leveller is damaged or is malfunctioning DO NOT SUPPORT ANY LOAD until the problem is
corrected.
2.
Consult vehicle owner’s manual for safety precautions, engine weight, and location of support areas on engine. The safe
working load limit of this Engine Leveller is between 680kg. NEVER EXCEED THE SAFE WORKING LOAD LIMIT
OF THE ENGINE LEVELLER.
3.
Loads which are allowed to swing or move of centre can exert a force greater then the weight of the object lifted. Make
sure load is secured and not able to move from the vertical lifting line.
4.
Clear children and others from work area before commencing work. Another adult should be nearby for extra safety and
assistance but must be clear of vehicle as it is worked on.
5.
Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
6.
Be sure vehicle is on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor. Uneven or sloped surfaces
create hazardous working conditions and dangerously impeded the function of the support bar.
7.
With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake or emergency brake and put gearshift in park (manual
transmissions should be placed in lowest gear). TURN VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE “LOCK” POSITION making
sure steering wheel locks.
8.
Chock all wheels of vehicle to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that tyre cannot roll over, position one
chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
