SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
1. Refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 to identify engine support bar components.
2. Remove all contents from box and be sure all components are included. First, insert feet (#13) into short tubes welded
at the end of both support beams (#1 and #2).
NOTE: The widest foot (#13) goes on the largest support beam (#1).
3. Slide transfer adapter (#11) over the end of large support beam (#1) 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 support bar may be used with or without the transfer bar, depending on the
load being supported.
4. 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 support bar is placed over the engine
compartment of the vehicle.
5. 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 support bar is placed in
support position over engine compartment of the vehicle.
6. It is time to install the two J-hooks (#3) provided. This must be done BEFORE placing the engine support 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).
7. The engine support bar is ready to be placed over the engine compartment of the vehicle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
1. Determine the location of the two engine support bolts to which the Engine Support Bar will be attached. Then, place
the Engine Support Bar directly over these two engine support bolts, making 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.
WARNING
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 and #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 disassembly of vehicle.

If the inside fender lips are more than 61" apart, the Engine Support Bar must not be used.
Do not extend past the designated marking (61") as over-extending this unit may compromise the
