SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow these Setup Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
WARNING
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Remove all contents from box and be sure all components are included. First, insert feet with sleeves (#13) into short tubes welded at the end of both support
beams (#1 & 2).
NOTE:
The foot (#13) with the largest opening goes on the largest support beam (#1).
2. Slide transfer adapter (#11) over the end of small support beam (#2) as shown in parts drawing (pg. 5) with short tube toward you and in the up and down position.
This transfer adapter will be used for mounting the transfer bar (#10) when needed or J-hook (#3) when the transfer bar is not used.
NOTE:
The Engine Transverse Bar may be used with or without the transfer bar, depending on the load being supported.
3. If mounting the transfer bar (#10) to assist with an unbalanced load, insert the adjustable pipe (#6) with the rubber tip up through the large hole at either end of the
transfer bar (#10), and secure in place with hex bolt (#9) and wing nut (#8). Do not fully tighten wing nut as height adjustment may be necessary once the Engine
Transverse Bar is placed over the engine compartment of the vehicle.
4. After determining the length of transfer bar needed to ensure correct placement of the adjustable pipe (#6) and to properly assist in supporting the load, insert hex bolt
(#5) down through the transfer bar (#10) and the short tube of the transfer adapter (#11) to hold transfer bar in place on the small support beam. Secure bolt with wing
nut (#4). Again, do not fully tighten wing nut (#4), as some length adjustment may be required once the Engine Transverse Bar is placed in support position over engine
compartment of the vehicle.
5. It is time to install the two J-hooks (#3) provided. This must be done BEFORE placing the Engine Transverse Bar over the engine compartment because ample space may
not be available once the support bar is in place. Insert one J-hook up through the bottom of short tube welded on the center portion of the large support beam (#1), and
secure with barrel hex nut (#7). Run hex nut (#7) all the way down to end of threads toward the hook portion of the J-hook to hold it out of the way until needed. Then,
locate the best position for the second J-hook and install in the same manner. The second J-hook may be installed in either the transfer bar (#10) as shown in the parts
drawing (if the transfer bar is used), or through the short tube welded on the adjustable transfer adapter (#11) (if the transfer bar is not used).
6. The Engine Transverse Bar is ready to be placed over the engine compartment of the vehicle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate the two engine support bolts to determine where the Engine Transverse Bar will be attached in relation to them Make sure that the feet with protective sleeves (#13)
are sitting in the inner fender lips of the engine compartment and fully extended until the feet are touching the inside of the fenders.
CAUTION:
If the inside fender lips are more than 61" apart, the Engine Transverse Bar must not be used. Do not extend past the designated marking (61") as over-extending
this unit may compromise the 700 lb. Capacity. This could cause the Engine Transverse Bar to collapse, resulting in bodily injury or property damage.
2. Make sure the transfer bar is in correct position (if being used). The rubber tip of the adjustable pipe (#6) should be on a flat, reinforced surface capable of supporting the
weight of the engine. Tighten both wing nuts (#4 & #8) to secure adjustable pipe (#6) and transfer bar (#10).
3. The J-hooks (#3) may be lowered to the appropriate position. Be sure J-hooks are directly over the engine support bolts or brackets so the engine does not swing when
vehicle is disassembled. Attach the looped ends of the two 1/8" braided steel cables (#12) to the engine support bolts on the engine and loop middle of braided cables
over J-hooks. If the engine being supported is equipped with engine lift brackets, hook the J-hooks directly into engine lift brackets for extra protection.
NOTE:
Use only fasteners rated Grade 5 or higher as engine support bolts.
4. Tighten the barrel hex nuts (#7) on both J-hooks until cables are snug or hex nuts are tight against support bar. Double check that engine is properly supported before
conducting any work.
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
