Safety Precautions
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury and/ or property damage,
•
Study, understand, and follow all safety precautions and operating instructions before
using this engine stand. If the operator cannot read instructions, operating instructions
and safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator’s native language.
•
Only qualified operators may install, operate, adjust, maintain, clean, repair, inspect, or
transport this machinery.
•
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1, CE EN166, AS/NZS 1337, and OSHA standards.
•
Do not exceed the rated capacity of 2722 kg (6000 lbs.). Maximum capacity is determined
with the center of the engine located not more than 330 mm (13 inches) from the mounting
hub surface of the engine stand.
•
Use the engine stand only on a hard, level surface.
•
Lock the handle locking mechanism before applying a load to the engine stand. Lock the
handle locking mechanism once the engine is in a working position.
•
Ensure the load is centered and secured to the mounting attachments.
Off-center loads
may make the load and handle rotate in either direction when the rotational locking device
is released.
Release rotational locking devices slowly and carefully. To avoid having an
off-balance load, locate the engine's center of balance within 50.8 mm (2.0 inches) of the
engine stand rotating shaft.
•
To maintain shear strength specifications, use alloy steel grade 8 or property class 10.9
socket head cap screws to mount adapters or engines.
•
To ensure full thread engagement, tapped holes in adapters and engine blocks must be clean
and not damaged. A thread length engagement equal to 1-1/2 screw diameters minimum
is needed to maintain strength requirements.
•
The engine must be solidly mounted to the repair stand before removing the support from
the lifting device.
•
Regularly check the cap screws on the repair stand assembly to verify they are torqued.
•
Stay out from underneath a load that is being lifted or suspended.
•
Use the lifting jack when necessary to lift the engine for rotation. While working on the
engine, keep the jack at its lowest position to keep the center of gravity low and reduce
the possibility of tipping.
•
Release system pressure SLOWLY to lower an engine. Do not unscrew the release valve
knob more than two turns from its closed position.
•
No alterations shall be made to this product.
•
Only attachments and / or adapters supplied by the manufacturer may be used.
•
This device is designed for general use in normal environments. This device is not designed
for lifting and moving people, agri-food machinery, mobile machinery, or in special work
environments such as explosive, flammable or corrosive.
