Seems like fr every break you get, there's a catch or two.
As useFl as the power Unit stand is, you've got to watch how you use it oR
you can get hurt or
kLe.
In the ±rst place, you move tHe stand onLy by li²ing sling or tow bar. You
and your bUddies can mash a lot o³ ±NgeRs trying to li² the Heavy st´nd.
The transmission suppOrt carriage slides back and frth on the staµd's outside
ra¶Ls. I³ you get a hand in the way when the carriage slides against the end o³
the st´nd, yoU can just about say go·bye to it.
You also don't try li²ing or towiNg the stand with the power uNit mo¸nted.
The st´nd's li²ing and towing brackets aren't made fr that weight. Someone-
maybe you¹can get hUrt real bad i³ the brackets give out under load.
