Section 1 - DESCRIPTION
This manual provides operation and maintenance instructions and parts lists for the Stanley Aviation Engine
Shipping Stand, part numbers 180059-1, -2, –3, and –4. These models facilitates air and truck shipping of all
Pratt & Whitney 4074 through 4098 engines in a shock-mounted configuration, via B747 or C-130 aircraft, or
else by air ride truck.
The Engine Shipping Stand is generally used in conjunction with the Stanley 181745 Engine Cradle, 180086
Special Pallet, and 180099 EBU Spacers. Although a cradle is designed for engine-specific applications, only
the Shipping Stand is discussed in detail herein. See the appropriate Stanley Operation and Maintenance

Section 4 - OPERATION
For operational characteristics of the Stand and cradle combination (i.e., for installation and removal of the
engine), refer to the cradle’s Operation and Maintenance Manual and the bootstrapping instructions provided
by the aircraft or engine manufacturer.
The Stanley 180059 Shipping Stand controls the vertical positioning of both the engine cradle and the for-
ward and aft running gear (i.e. wheel, rim, and tires). It does this via two (2) separate hydraulic systems-
Three-Way Valves and Two-Stage Pumps- each connected to its own circuit. Together, these valves and
pumps control the height of the engine cradle and the positioning of the running gear. (Table 4-1, follows,
with directions for their operation.)

4.3.4 If the forward running gear is in the operational position (with the Stand off the ground and
in a towable configuration), slightly raise the Stand, such that the two forward running gear
T-handle pins can be removed. Both pins may not loosen at the same time, but remove each
as they do (Figure 4-4). Once the T-handle pins are removed, lower or raise the Stand to
the desired height, using the following steps:
c FIGURE 4-4

4.3.5 To raise the forward end of the Stand, set the left pump valve selector to the 'A' (RAISE) po-
sition and the left valve selector to the 'B' (WHEELS) position.
4.3.6 Using the hand pump, adjust the height of the Stand until the desired height is achieved.
Make minor height adjustments with the pumps and/or valves to line up all the pin holes. Re-
insert the two forward running gear T-handle pins.
4.3.7 Move the selectors on the left pump valve and left stand valve to the ‘B’ and ‘A’ positions,
respectively, and then to the NEUTRAL position. This will release the hydraulic pressure in
the system.
4.3.8 To raise the aft end of the Stand, set the right side pump valve selector to the 'A' (RAISE)
position and the right side stand valve selector to the 'B' (WHEELS) position.
4.3.9 Using the hand pump, raise the Stand until the desired height is reached. Reinsert the two
aft running gear T-handle pins (Figure 4-5). Move the selectors on the right side pump valve
and right side stand valve to the opposite positions and then to NEUTRAL. This will release
the hydraulic pressure in the system.

4.4.1 Verify or perform the inspection (per Section 8), before operation. (Hydraulics must be fully
operational and leak-free before use.)
4.4.2 Remove the pump handles from their stowed positions, and install them on the pumps.
4.4.3 Set the aft wheel brakes by pulling the brake levers aft and down (Figure 4-3).
4.4.4 Set the right side pump valve selector to the 'A' (RAISE) position. Slightly raise the aft end of
the Stand enough to remove the aft running gear T-handle pins (Figure 4-5).
4.4.5 Return the right side pump valve selector to the neutral position.
4.4.6 Set the right side stand valve selector to the 'B' (WHEELS) position.
4.4.7 To lower the aft end of the Stand, slowly toggle the right side pump valve selector back-and-
forth between NEUTRAL and 'B' (LOWER). The aft end of the Stand will IMMEDIATELY be-
gin to lower when the right side pump valve selector is in the ‘B’ position. (Toggling prevents
the aft end of the Stand from lowering too quickly.)

4.4.8 Before lowering the forward end of the Stand, remove the lockouts from the forward running
gear assemblies (Figure 4-6, below). The forward end of the stand can now be fully lowered.
c FIGURE 4-6
4.4.9 Set the left side pump valve selector to the 'A' (RAISE) position. Slightly raise the forward
end of the Stand enough to remove the forward running gear T-handle pins.
4.4.10 Return the right side pump valve selector to the neutral position.
4.4.11 Set the right side stand valve selector to the 'B' (WHEELS) position.
4.4.12 To lower the aft end of the Stand, slowly toggle the right side pump valve selector back-and-
forth between NEUTRAL and 'B' (LOWER). The aft end of the Stand will IMMEDIATELY
begin to lower when the right side pump valve selector is in the ‘B’ position. (Toggling pre-
vents the aft end of the Stand from lowering too quickly.)
4.4.13 Before lowering the forward end of the Stand, remove the lockouts from the forward running
gear assemblies (Figure 4-6, above). The forward end of the Stand can now be fully low-
ered.
4.4.14 Set the left side pump valve selector to the 'A' (RAISE) position. Slightly raise the forward
end of the Stand enough to remove the forward running gear T-handle pins.
4.4.15 Return the left side pump valve selector to NEUTRAL. Move the left side stand valve selec-
tor to the 'B' (WHEELS) position.

STANLEY AVIATION CORPORATION
4.4.16 To lower the forward end of the Stand, slowly toggle the left side pump valve selector back-
and-forth between NEUTRAL and 'B' (LOWER). The forward end of the Stand will IMMEDI-
ATELY begin to lower when the left side pump valve selector is in the 'B' position. (Toggling
prevents the forward end of the Stand from lowering too rapidly.)
4.4.17 When the forward end of the Stand has been completely lowered, ensure that the left pump
valve selector is in the 'B' (LOWER) position.
4.4.18 Using the hand pump, raise the forward wheels off the ground.
4.4.19 Pin the running gear in place by inserting the forward running gear T-handle pins into the
AIR/TRUCK SHIP hole (Figure 4-6).
4.4.20 Move all selector valves back and forth between their 'A' and 'B' positions, then return them
to NEUTRAL, in order to relieve any pressure in the system.
For Air Transport: Turn the wheels outward, slightly, for Fan Case clearance.
For Truck Transport: Align the wheels with the Stand’s frame.
Without Fan Case: Rotate the wheels inward, to reduce the overall width of the Stand.

4.7.6 To lower the engine cradle, turn the two pump valve selectors simultaneously to the
‘B’ (LOWER) position. Toggle the pump valve selectors back-and-forth between NEUTRAL
and 'B' (LOWER) to prevent the Stand from lowering too quickly.
4.7.7 Screw the jam nuts onto six of the ten cradle mount bolts. Leave 1½ inches of thread be-
yond the jam nut.
4.7.8 Install the six bolts in their jacking positions on the cradle flange. This permits the shock iso-
lators to be stretched upwards to allow the spacers to be installed in the ‘AIR TRAN PORT’
position.
4.7.9 Spin the jam nuts downward to contact the cradle and tighten to snug.
4.7.10 Ensure that the six bolts have fully engaged the top plate of the upper shock mounts.
4.7.11 Raise the cradle just enough to install the shipping spacers between the upper and lower
shock mount plates.

Section 6 - STORAGE
6.1 If the Shipping System will be stored in areas controlled to temperatures between 50º and 100º F and
less than 50% average relative humidity, replace the hydraulic fluid and purge the systems every six
(6) months, unless operational conditions warrant more frequent service.
(If storage conditions fall outside of the 50º and 100º F range, and/or less than 50% average relative
humidity, bi-monthly fluid replacement is recommended.)
6.2 If hydraulic fluid is discolored, cloudy, or contaminated, replace immediately. (See Section 12.)
Section 7 - CLEANING
7.1 Clean all metal parts with a mild detergent solution followed by a clear water rinse.
7.2 Dry all parts using a clean cloth or low pressure compressed air.
7.3 See Section 9 for proper lubrication of moving parts.
20
STANLEY AVIATION CORPORATION
Section 8 - INSPECTION
To ensure efficient and reliable operation, the Stanley Shipping Stand must be maintained through regular
preventive maintenance practices. These practices include inspection, cleaning, and lubrication. All preven-
tive maintenance must be performed at least once every six (6) months. The manufacturer recommends
more frequent maintenance under conditions of heavy service or extreme weather. Replace any parts that
do not meet inspection standards.
8.2 Inspect all parts for dirt and signs of wear or damage.
8.3 Inspect all structural members for distortion, breaks, cracks, or other signs of damage.
8.5 Inspect load-bearing surfaces and the threads of all bolts for small cuts, scoring, distortion, elonga-
tion, galling, or other signs of wear or damage.
8.6 Inspect all bolted parts for looseness and tighten as necessary.
8.7 Inspect the paint and plating for cuts or chips and repair as required per Section 9.2
8.8 Jack up the Stand, place blocks or safety stands under it, and check the wheels for free-running op-
eration. Check the wheel bearings for excessive play or binding. The wheels should spin freely, and
there should by no lateral or axial movement.
8.9 Inspect the hydraulic system according to Table 8-1 that follows (Hydraulic System Inspection Re-
quirements). Leakage (Item 3) and Contamination (Item 14) are the two most common problems with
hydraulic systems, and can lead to further problems if left uncorrected.
(See Section 12 for complete Hydraulic System Service instructions for fluid level replacement and
bleeding of the running gear and cylinders.)

STANLEY AVIATION CORPORATION
Category I Items
Inspection should be performed daily, or before each use- whichever is less frequent. Certain items
(*) require CONTINUOUS inspection, however, to avoid hazardous use. Defective components
should be removed from service until repairs can be made.
Category II Items
Inspection is monthly, and should be performed- and entered into a signed and dated log- by desig-
nated qualified personnel. Such a log should be kept with the unit. Inspect more frequently if use
deems it necessary, based on the exposure of the critical components (hand pumps and hydraulic
cylinders) to wear and contamination. Defective items failing inspection should be repaired or re-
placed before operating the hand pumps.
** Oil level must be checked with all four (4) cradle cylinders in the “down” position, and with all wheels
cylinders completely retracted.

Air can enter the hydraulic system during assembly, replacement of parts, or after prolonged use.
Take the following steps to bleed air from the system. Running gear must be pinned in place prior to
bleeding the system. Always bleed the components farthest from the reservoir first.
12.1.1 Cycle the left side pump valve selector from one position to another to release all pres-
sure from the system.
12.1.2 Remove the pins that secure the forward wheel cylinder rod ends to the running gear.
Prop the cylinders up to allow free extension and retraction of their rods.
12.1.3 Move the left side pump valve selector to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and the left side
stand valve selector to the ‘B’ (WHEELS) position. Retract the forward cylinders
fully using the left side pump.
12.1.4 Move the left side pump valve selector to the ‘A’ (RAISE) position and remove the fitting
cap from the aft (body) end of the right front wheel cylinder. Fit a bleeder tube over the
threads and submerge the other end in a container of clean hydraulic fluid.
12.1.5 Cycle the left side pump until all the air is expelled from the hydraulic line (i.e., clear fluid
without bubbles).
12.1.6 While slowly depressing the pump handle and continuing to expel fluid, remove the
bleeder tube, replace the cap, and tighten it.
12.1.7 Repeat steps 4 through 7 for the aft end of the left side front cylinder.
12.1.8 Cycle the left side pump to extend both forward cylinders completely.
12.1.9 Move the left side pump selector valve to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and repeat the bleed-
ing procedure for the forward end of the right front wheel cylinder. Then bleed the for-
ward end of the left front wheel cylinder.
12.1.10 Reinstall the forward cylinder rod ends in the front running gear and bolt securely. Cycle
the system. Repeat the procedure if the cylinders still move erratically or are slow to re-
spond.

be pinned in place prior to bleeding the system. Always bleed the components farthest from the res-
ervoir first.
12.2.1 Cycle the right side pump valve selector from one position to another to release all pres-
sure from the system.
12.2.2 Remove the pins that secure both aft wheel cylinder rod ends to the running gear. Prop
the cylinders up to allow free extension and retraction of their rods.
12.2.3 Move the right side pump valve selector to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and the right side
stand valve selector to the ‘B’ (WHEELS) position. Retract the aft cylinders fully using the
right side pump.
12.2.4 Move the right side pump selector valve to the ‘A’ (RAISE) position. Remove the fitting
cap from the forward (body) end of the left rear wheel cylinder and fit a bleeder tube over
the threads. Submerge the other end in a container of clean hydraulic fluid.
12.2.5 Cycle the right side pump until all the air is expelled from the line (i.e., clear fluid without
bubbles).
12.2.6 While slowly depressing the pump handle and continuing to expel fluid, remove the
bleeder tube, replace the cap, and tighten it down.
12.2.7 Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the forward end of the right rear cylinder.
12.2.8 Cycle the right side pump to extend both aft cylinders completely.
12.2.9 Move the right side pump selector valve to the ‘B’ (LOWER) position and repeat the
bleeding procedure for the aft (rod) end of the left rear wheel cylinder. Then bleed the aft
end of the right rear wheel cylinder.
12.2.10 Reinstall the aft cylinder rod ends in the aft running gear. Pin it securely. Cycle the sys-
tem, then repeat the procedure if the cylinders still move erratically or are slow to re-
spond.

The system is now completely serviced. If necessary, repeat the procedure for the other side of the
system. Perform a check on the hydraulics to ensure proper system functionality:
• Using the pump, fully RAISE the cylinders. The forward cylinder must raise ¼ inch higher than
the aft cylinder.
• Put the selector in the LOWER position and fully retract the cylinders. It may take up to 5 min-
utes for both cylinders to retract completely If the system operates correctly, check and tighten
all fittings. If the system does not operate correctly, completely re-do the entire bleeding proce-
dure.
