THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting and support devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical
means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel
involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the
equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing
loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not
designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study and understand all instructions before operating.
• Inspect the engine stand before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, or has loose or missing
hardware or components. Take corrective action before using the engine stand.
• Do not use beyond rated capacity.
• Use only on hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Make sure all mounting hardware is securely tightened and setup is stable before rotating engine.
• Always use high strength SAE grade 8 bolts for mounting engine to mounting head fingers.
• Make sure widest set of mounting head fingers are nearest the ground when mounting engine to stand.
• Assure the load is centered, balanced and secured to the mounting head and fingers. The engine’s weight should be balanced
within one inch of the mounting head’s rotational axis.
• Never loosen mounting head bolts or engine mounting bolts unless engine is supported by a crane or hoist.
• Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by Sunex
® shall be used.
• Do not use stand to dolly or transport engine.
• Do not crawl under engine or place any part of your body under engine at any time.
• Refer to engine manufacturer’s service manual for proper lifting points, mounting points and bolt sizes. Mounting bolts should be
torqued at appropriate amount to maintain load.
• This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
