THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the
exercise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation of
the equipment who are careful, competent, trained and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of haz-
ards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other
than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Inspect the engine stand before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, or has loose or missing
components. Take corrective action before using the engine stand.
• Do not use (or modify) this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the manufacturer's
authorized representative.
• Do not use beyond rated capacity.
• Use only on a hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Gear driven engine stands are not equipped with mounting plate locking mechanisms.
• Make sure all mounting hardware is securely tightened and setup is stable before rotating engine.
• Always use high strength SAE grade 8 bolts for mounting engine to mounting head fingers.
• Make sure widest set of mounting head fingers are nearest the ground when mounting engine to stand.
• Assure the load is centered, balanced and secured to the mounting head and fingers. The engine's weight should be balanced within
1" of the mounting head's rotational axis.
• Rotate the engine using the handle for device provided.
• Lock the wheels and/or casters before working on the engine.
• Adequately support the vehicle before starting repairs.
• Never loosen mounting head bolts or engine mounting bolts unless engine is supported by a crane or hoist.
• Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by NAPA shall be used.
• Do not use stand to dolly or transport engine.
• Do not crawl under engine or place any part of your body under engine at any time.
• Refer to engine manufacturer's service manual for proper lifting points, mounting points and bolt sizes. Mounting bolts should be
torqued at appropriate amount to maintain load.
• Lock the wheels and/or casters before working on the engine.
• Rotate the engine using the handle or device provided.
• Release rotational locking device slowly and carefully. Off center load may make the load and handle rotate in either direction when the
rotational locking device is released.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
