Ranger 2WD V6-245 4.0L VIN X SFI (1997)
Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation
Twin Post Hoist
WARNING: DO NOT LIFT VEHICLE USING TORSION BARS.
CAUTION: Damage to suspension, rear axle cover or steering linkage components may occur when positioning hoist adapters. Front adapter pads
should be positioned carefully at 45 degrees, down and forward to ensure maximum contact under the center of lower suspension arms or spring supports
as near wheels as practical. Rear suspension hoist adapters (forks) should be placed vertically under rear axle tubes, but adapters must not interfere with
lower control arm mounting brackets or hydraulic brake lines.
CAUTION: When raising a vehicle on a twin-post hoist, care should be taken to position the vehicle so that the hoisting adapters (forks) do not damage
the axle carrier casting or rear cover, or contact the front stabilizer bar or brackets.
Refer to manufacturer's operating manual for proper lifting procedures.
