How do the adjustable arms work?

Troubleshooting

Stand wobbles or feels unstable

Ensure all assembly bolts are fully tightened. Check that the castor wheels are locked (if applicable) or that the stand is on a level, firm surface. Verify the engine is centered on the stand and within the weight capacity.

Adjustable arms will not lock securely

Confirm that the bolts connecting the arms to the engine block are correctly aligned and tightened. Ensure no debris is preventing the arms from seating properly.

Swivel mechanism is difficult to move or lock

Check the locking pin is fully disengaged before attempting to rotate. Clean the swivel plate and the area around the locking pin. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the swivel mechanism and the pin guide.

Castor wheels are stiff or do not roll smoothly

Inspect the castor wheels for any obstructions (dirt, debris, hair). Clean them thoroughly. If the problem persists, a small amount of lubricant applied to the wheel axle may help.

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.
