SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &

FUNCTIONS

Warning!

1. Do not overload the engine load leveler beyond its rated lift capacity (3/4 Ton).

Overloading the tool may cause it to fail, resulting in personal injury or damage to the

tool and/or engine.

2. Never use the load leveler with an shop crane that has less than 1 Ton capacity

(2000 lbs).

3. Ensure all bolts and fasteners on lifting beam and load are tight and secure.

4. Do not place any part of your body under the load while raising or supporting it.

5. Inspect the engine load leveler for component damage. Do not use this tool if

damaged parts are found.

6. Do not use with twisted or kinked chains as this can damage the chain and cause a

load failure.

7. Do not attempt to lengthen the load chains as this can compromise the lifting

capacity and result in a load failure.

Functions

This engine load leveler is designed for use with a shop crane or hoist to lift and suspend

an engine (or items up to 3/4 ton, 1500 lbs) and adjust the angle of the engine or item to

make it level.

1. Lifting chain and Fulcrum

2. Additional shackle holes

3. Threaded shaft

4. Cross beam

5. Crank handle

6. Shackles

7. Chains

8. L Brackets

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

OPERATION

The engine load leveler has an adjustable fulcrum system to adjust the load’s angle. This

will assist in the engine’s removal from the vehicle.

1. Check that all obstacles and obstructions between the vehicle and engine stand are

removed.

2. Attach leveler to an overhead shop crane or hoist.

3. Disconnect engine transmission and remove engine mounting bolts.

4. Straighten chains before attaching to the engine. A shackle can be moved to one of three

separate holes to accommodate engines with different mount bolt positions.

a. Unscrew the shackle and remove from the hole.

b. Locate the mount bolt positions on the engine and the nearest shackle hole in the beam.

c. Reattach the shackle to the beam and tighten.

5. Position each L-bracket over the engine mount bolt hole and attach using mounting bolts.

6. Take up slack carefully. Lift a few inches and check the load is secure and balanced.

Adjust the fulcrum to change the angle needed to remove the engine.

7. Turn the crank handle at the end of the threaded shaft to shift the fulcrum to level the

load or change the angle.

8. Lift engine out of the bay.

9. Rebalance the engine to redistribute the weight to all four chains once it is clear of the

engine bay.

10. Move the engine slowly to the engine stand. Do not allow the engine to swing.

11. Clear the area below the engine of people, tools and debris before lowering. Lower the

engine slowly and attach to the engine stand. Remove the L-brackets once secured.

MAINTENANCE

1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to control and will

have fewer problems.

2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or worn

components.

3. Replace the leveler’s chains and L brackets instead of repairing them. The repair may

not have the same tensile strength as the chain/L barckets and may result in a load

failure.

4. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use accessories intended for

use with this tool. Replace damaged parts immediately.
