1. Ensure that the load does not exceed the rated capacity of your chosen boom and leg position.
2. Secure appropriately rated engine leveler, chain or sling assembly (sold separately) to the vehicle manufacturers'
recommended engine lift points.
3. Secure the engine crane safety hook assembly to the engine leveler, chain or sling assembly.
4. Refer to vehicle service manual and/or shop manual for location of appropriate engine lift points and removal
procedures. Each engine removal/installation may require different tools, procedures, and level of expertise.
5. When ready to remove engine, turn release valve clockwise until firm. Pump handle until load is high enough to
clear vehicle. Before moving, ensure the load is:
a. at the lowest practical position and always below the center of gravity.
b. prevented from swinging and inadvertent shifting.
! WARNING: Never put any portion of your body under a load supported by the engine crane. Keep crane on
hard, smooth, level surface Before moving crane, lower the boom as far below horizontal as possible, yet still
allowing movement!
6. Remove engine, then immediately transfer the engine to appropriate engine support device (engine stand). Turn
release valve lever counter-clockwise to lower the load, but never more than 2 full turns. Control the rate of
descent of the load at all times. The more you open the release valve, the faster the load descends.
7. Ensure stand is secure before working on or around.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically inspect the engine crane and fasteners. Replace worn or damaged parts with factory replacement parts
only. Ensure caster, wheels, boom extension, leg extensions (if equipped) and pump assembly move freely.
NOTICE: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. Premium hydraulic jack oil is recommended.
Adding Oil to Hydraulic Unit
1. Remove hydraulic unit from crane.
2. With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, set hydraulic unit in its upright, level position. Remove
oil filler plug.
3. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
Changing Oil of Hydraulic Unit
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply annually.
1. Carefully remove hydraulic unit from crane.
2. With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, remove oil filler plug.
3. Lay the hydraulic unit on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
NOTICE: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local environmental regulations.
4. Set hydraulic unit in its level upright position. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler hole. Reinstall the
oil filler plug.
Lubrication
If rust appears, sand affected area and cover with suitable utility paint. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to
pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that wheels, casters, and pump assemblies move
freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
NOTICE: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on ram or pump piston surfaces.
