5. OPERATION
5.1. Only use mounting bolts of the equivalent grade or stronger as those supplied by the vehicle manufacturer to mount an engine,
transmission or other heavy assembly to this Stand.
5.2. TheMountingPlateisdrilledwith2boltpatterns,onesmallandonelarge.Inaddition,theMountingArmsareelongatedandprovide
for90mmofadjustmentandcanbepositionedanywherewithin360°.Whilethesefeaturesallowforvirtuallyunlimitedcombinations
of mounting possibilities, it is the responsibility of the user to determine the best mounting arrangement and to follow all safety
warnings presented in the Safety Information section of these instructions.
5.3. The Swivel Casters are equipped with a Locking Brake Feature. These MUST be locked before adding a load to prevent unintended
movement of the Engine Stand while attaching the load.
5.4. TO ROTATE: Carefully grasp the Hand crank and slowly rotate it which will in turn rotate the Mounting Plate with the load attached in
the desired direction.
WARNING! TIP HAZARD!UseextremecautionwhilerotatingtheHandcranktorotatetheloadasalarge,top-heavyengineor
similar object could result in a sudden imbalance condition and cause the Engine Stand to suddenly tip.
5.5. TO LOCK: Screw in the handwheel on the side of the worm drive unit.
