a.
Installing Engine On Engine Stand.
Engine weighs approximately 680 lbs (308 kg). Attach suitable lifting device to prevent possible
injury to personnel.
Keep out from under engine when lifting. If engine slips, sideways, or falls, serious injury or death
may result.
Ensure loose wires and hoses are secure and moved out of the way so they do not snag and cause
damage when engine is lifted.
Before lifting engine completely off support, test by lifting slightly to see if balanced. If engine
starts to tilt, lower and adjust. Unbalanced engine can swing causing damage.
(1)
Install lifting device on engine (1) at lifting points (2).
