User's Manual

To avoid crushing and
related injuries:
NEVER work on, under or
around a load supported
only by a crane.
Immediately transfer the
load to an appropriately
rated engine stand.
! WARNING
! SAFETY MESSAGE !
• Lift only on areas of the engine as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.
• Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load.
OPERATION
1. Load capacity should be coordinated with boom
extension and legs extension. Do not extend boom
extension beyond the marking that coordinate with
the legs extension.
2. Ensure application is compatible with product.
3. Secure engine to chain/sling hook assembly, ensuring
load is centered.
4. Follow vehicle service manual recommendations to
remove engine. When ready to remove engine, turn
release valve clockwise until firm. Pump handle until
load is high enough to clear vehicle.
5. Immediately upon removal and when clear of the
vehicle, lower the load to the lowest practical position
by turning the release valve lever counter-clockwise
slowly and carefully.
Note: Avoid rolling the loaded engine crane. To help
position an engine stand if necessary, move only across
smooth, level, seamless surfaces.
Before moving ensure the load:
a. is lowered to the lowest practical position, but
always below the center of gravity.
b. is prevented from swinging and inadvertent shifting.
5. Position a suitable engine stand near the removed
engine, then immediately transfer the load to
appropriate engine support device (engine stand).
6. Check to ensure stand is secure before working on or
around.
BEFORE USE
1. Inspect crane before each use. Do not use if bent,
broken or cracked components are noted. Ensure that
casters/wheels and boom move freely. Check for and
tighten any loose assemblies.
2. Verify that the product and the application are com-
patible.
3. Before using this product, read the owner's manual
completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with
the product and the hazards associated with its im-
proper use.
! WARNING
• Study, understand, and follow all instructions provided
with and on this device before operating this device.
• Do not exceed rated capacity for each boom position.
• Use the device only on a hard, level surface.
• These engine cranes are intended to be used to lift
and lower rated capacity automotive and light truck
engines. It is an aid in the removal and installation
of automotive and light truck engines.
• Only use chains and slings with a capacity equal to
or greater than that of the crane.
• If loaded crane must be moved, make certain that
load is stable, is in lowest possible position and is
moved over a smooth, hard level surface.
• Avoid shock loads caused by the rapid opening and
closing of release valve.
• Shock loads may cause the load to swing, causing
the crane to flip violently, bend or break.
• Ensure the boom is fully lowered before checking or
adding fluid to the hydraulic unit.
• Never extend boom extension beyond furthest
distance of leg extension.
• Do not stand over loaded boom nor in its intended
line of travel.
• Do not use adapters or accessories that are not
provided initially.
• Do not use the device for any purpose other than
that for which it is intended.
• Do not modify this device.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
