• Secure Attachment: Double-check that all four attachment points on the engine are securely fastened to the straps and that the straps are properly adjusted and locked in place.

• Slow and Controlled Movement: Lift and lower the engine slowly and with controlled movements. Avoid sudden jerks or rapid changes in height.
• Clear Work Area: Always maintain a clear work area around the engine and lifting equipment to prevent accidents.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and ensure the safe operation of your engine lift kit:

• Cleanliness: After each use, wipe down the steel bracket and nylon straps to remove any oil, grease, or dirt.
• Inspect for Wear: Periodically inspect the nylon straps for fraying, cuts, or excessive wear. Check the steel bracket for any signs of bending, cracks, or corrosion.
• Hardware Check: Ensure all bolts and nuts remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
