Raising Vehicle: Notes

WARNING:
  • Before driving the vehicle onto a workshop hoist, make sure there is enough clearance between any low-lying components and the hoist.
  • Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it must be ensured that the vehicle weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the platform.
  • Vehicle may only be lifted at points indicated in illustration in order to avoid damaging vehicle floor pan and to prevent vehicle from tipping.
  • Never start engine and engage a gear with vehicle lifted so long as even one wheel has contact with the floor! There is a risk of an accident if this is not observed!
  • If work is to be performed under vehicle it must be supported by suitable stands.
