As you can see in the photo, when pulling the engine/trans I back on the lift.Much like when its on forward, I reverse the length of the arms. Extending the forward (short)arms as far as they go. The rear arms (long) as short as they go. Usually put weight in the trunk like spare wheels and tires. Then only lift it around 2-3 feet.I will even go as far as strapping the car to the forward arms with ratchet straps.The lift is rated at 9000 lbs.
