Lifts And Jacks

When using a lift or shop jack to raise a vehicle, or using rigid racks to support a vehicle, always follow instructions concerning jack-up points and weight limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which could result in injury. Be especially careful that the vehicle is balanced before raising it. Be sure to set the wheel stoppers to the other side wheels when jacking-up only the front or rear side of the vehicle.

NOTE:

When using a lift, follow its operation manual before starting work.
Do not work or leave unattended while the vehicle is supported with jack, support it with rigid racks.
Be sure to use the rigid racks with rubber attached to cradle to support the vehicle.
When using a plate lift, use a rubber attachment.
