Q. How to ensure safety while using a diesel engine stand?

A.

• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1, CE EN166, AS/NZS 1337 and OSHA standards.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of 2722 kg (6000 lb). Ensure that the centre of the engine is not more than 330 mm (13 inches) from the mounting hub surface.
• Use the engine stand only on a hard, level surface.
• Lock the handle locking mechanism before applying load to the engine stand.
• Ensure that the load is centred and secured to the mounting attachments to prevent off-centre loads that may lead to rotation.
• Use alloy steel Grade 8 or property Class 10.9 socket head cap screws to mount adapters or engines. Maintain proper thread engagement for shear strength.
• The engine must be solidly mounted to the repair stand before removing the support from the lifting device.

Q. How to mount any engine using the universal adapter plate?

A.

• Verify that the handle locking mechanism on the engine stand is engaged before mounting an engine.

• Bolt the engine adapter plate to the engine using specific spacers, bolts and washers. Wrench tighten the bolts.
• Attach side plates to the engine adapter plate, leaving the cap screws and nuts loose.
• Align the engine, including the side plates attached to the adapter plate, with the universal adapter plate on the engine stand.
• Raise or lower the engine until its centre of balance aligns with the rotating shaft of the engine stand.
• Align the closest tapped holes in the universal adapter plate with the holes in the side plates.
• Securely tighten the side plates to the engine adapter plate on the engine and to the universal adapter plate on the engine stand.

Q. How does an engine stand streamline maintenance tasks?
