SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

This is the safety alert symbol used for the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
Refer to parts breakdown on page 5:
1. Install handles sleeves #4 on the grip handles #5. Install the rubber blocks #10 on the feet #9.
2. Insert the feet #9 between the ears of the foot bracket #8.
3. Secure the feet to the foot bracket by threading the bolt #7 through the washer on the U-pin assembly #13 and then into the ears
of the foot bracket #8. Do not tighten the bolt #7 at this time.
4. Insert the foot bracket threaded shafts in between the beam tubes #1 as shown on page 5 and secure them with the washers #3
and knobs #2.
5. Insert the screws #11 in between the beam tubes #1 as shown on page 5 and secure them with the washers #6 and

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. Many vehicle engines have points of connection close to the top of the engine that provide a way to handle it during installation or
removal. Locate these connection points in order to properly position the beam #1. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for the proper
method of connecting to the engine if a connection is not provided. The beam #1 is intended to straddle the engine compartment.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer to determine what portion of the engine compartment is strong enough to support the weight
of the engine support tool and engine.
2. The support tool feet #9 can be adjusted on a location of the beam #1 that corresponds with the contact point of the engine
compartment. Once the feet are properly positioned, turn the knobs #2 in a clockwise direction until tight. Install the u-pin
assemblies into their corresponding holes in the foot bracket #8 to minimize the rotation of the foot #9. Once the rotation of the
foot #9 and the beam #1 are positioned, secure the foot #9 from rotating by tightening the bolts #7. The beam's position should be
closely aligned with the engine connection points.
3. The adjustable screws #11 should be positioned right above the engine connection points. One end of the chains #12 should be
secured to the engine connection points using grade 5 or better bolts and nuts. The other ends of the chains or chain links can be
slipped over the hooks at the bottom of the adjustable screws #11. Any slack in the chains #12 can be taken up by turning the grip
handles #5 in a clockwise rotation.
4. Once the engine has been raised off its motor mounts, turn the grip handles #5 in a clockwise rotation to remove any slack in
the chains #12. WARNING: Do not turn the grip handles #5 to raise the engine any higher but rather turn the handles to take up
the chain slack and support the engine. Once the engine has been properly supported, the device used to lift the engine can be
removed until the work has been completed.
