Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is required upon receiving the KCT Engine Gearbox Support Stand. Follow the included instructions carefully, ensuring all bolts and nuts are securely tightened, especially for the adjustable arms and swivel mechanism. Before mounting an engine, test the locking mechanisms for both the arms and the rotation.
Compatibility:
This stand is designed to accommodate a wide variety of vehicle engines due to its adjustable mounting arms. The arms can be spaced apart or brought closer together, and their angle can be changed to align with the mounting points on different engine blocks or transmission housings. Note: The user must provide their own engine mounting bolts that are compatible with the specific engine being mounted.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the stand with a damp cloth to remove grease and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint or metal finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the swivel mechanism and castor wheels. A light application of lubricant may be necessary for smooth operation, especially if used frequently.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all bolts, welds, and locking mechanisms for signs of wear or damage. Ensure all parts remain securely fastened.
- Storage: When not in use, store the stand in a dry area to prevent rust. Ensure it is positioned securely to avoid accidental tipping.
