Operating Instructions
When operating the engine lift kit, always prioritize safety and adhere to the following guidelines:
- Verify Load Capacity: Ensure the engine and any attached components do not exceed the kit's maximum load capacity of 1,200 pounds. Overloading can lead to equipment failure and serious injury.
- 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.
- Balanced Lift: When lifting, ensure the engine is balanced to prevent tilting or swinging. Adjust strap lengths as needed to achieve a level lift.
- 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

- Hardware Check: Ensure all bolts and nuts remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Storage: Store the lift kit in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
