INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Insert the #18 middle beam in the #1 main post all the way until the ends of the square tubes are flush with each other and secure them with a #3 1-1/8" long bolt.
2. Secure the #2 back leg to the angle iron portion of the #1 main post and secure them together with the #7 2-3/4" long bolts, #14 flat washers, #16 lockwashers
and #15 nuts.
3. Secure the #17 front leg to the angle iron portion of the #18 middle beam with the #7 2-3/4" long bolts, #14 flat washers, #16 lockwashers and #15 nuts.
4. Slide the #20 3-1/2" diameter wheels onto the axle shafts of the #2 back leg and secure them to the axles with the #22 flat washers and #23 spring clips.
5. Insert the two #12 3" caster assemblies into the bottom of the #17 front leg and secure them to the leg by reaching inside the #17 leg openings with the #11 lock
washers and #10 nuts and tightening them on the threaded caster stems.
6. Install the tube section of the #4 head mounting plate into the tube at the top of the #1 main post and secure them together by inserting the #5 lock pin in the holes
that line up between the two tubes.
7. Push on of the #21 handle grips on the #13 handle and insert the handle through the cross hole at the end of the #4 head mounting plate. Now push on the
remaining #21 handle grip on the other end of the #13 handle.
8. Attach the four #6 fingers to the #4 head mounting plate with the #8 1-5/8" long bolts, #9 flat washers, #11 lock washers and #10 nuts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Consult the vehicle or engine manufacturer for service manuals and/or technical bulletins that provide information on suggested engine mounting tips, proper size
and type mounting bolts and the engine's center of balance. The engine's center of balance will have to be aligned with the rotational axis of the engine stand's
mounting head.
2. Drain oil and coolant and remove clutch bell housing and flywheel from engine before mounting. Attach an engine lifting bar or sling to the engine and secure the
bar or sling to a shop crane or hoist. Slowly lift the engine from its compartment, making sure no other vehicle components, wires or hoses obstruct the free
movement of the engine. Raise the engine high enough so its center of balance is close to the rotational axis of the stands's mounting head.
3. Make sure the four mounting head fingers are loosely connected to the mounting head plate. Secure the four mounting head fingers to the bell housing end of the
engine with the appropriate bolts and washers. Reposition the mounting head, fingers and engine so the engine's center of balance is within one inch of the
mounting head's rotational axis. Tighten all bolts to a sufficient torque requirement that prevents any slippage.
4. Slowly lower the crane or hoist so the engine stand supports the full weight of the engine. To check engine balance and secure setup of the engine to the stand,
slowly rotate the engine by turning the handle. If balance or setup are not stable, rotate the engine to its original position, raise the crane or hoist so the weight of
the engine is removed from the stand, and make the correct adjustments. After adjustments are made, tighten all bolts. This adjustment procedure may have to be
duplicated several times until correct. After the setup is balanced and secure, the lifting bar or sling can be removed from crane or hoist.
5. To remove the engine from the stand, connect the lifting bar or sling to the crane or hoist and raise the engine high enough to take the weight off the stand. Carefully
remove the bolts that connect the four mounting fingers to the engine. Be aware there will be a slight movement of the stand as total engine weight is transferred to
the crane or hoist.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the engine stand in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful
elements. The Engine Stand must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. Lubricate the wheels, casters, wheel axles, and rotating tube with a general purpose grease.
3. Every engine stand owner is responsible for keeping the stand labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the stand. Contact
Balkamp for a replacement label if your stand's label is not readable.
4. Inspect the stand before use. Do not use the stand if any component is cracked, broken or bent. Do not use the stand if it has loose or missing hardware or
components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the stand again.
