Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

STANDARD PROCEDURE - HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING: The hoisting and jack lifting points provided are for a complete vehicle. When a chassis or drivetrain component is removed from
a vehicle, the center of gravity is altered making some hoisting conditions unstable. Properly support or secure vehicle to hoisting device when
these conditions exist.

FLOOR JACK

LIFT POINTS

CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift a vehicle with a floor jack positioned under:

-

An axle tube.

-

Aluminum differential.

-

A body side sill.

-

A steering linkage component.

-

A drive shaft.

-

The engine or transmission oil pan.

-

The fuel tank.

-

A front suspension arm.

When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to lift a Dakota vehicle. Support the vehicle in the raised position with jack stands at the front and
rear ends of the frame rails.

HOIST

A vehicle can be lifted with:

-

A single-post, frame-contact hoist.

-

A twin-post, chassis hoist.

-

A ramp-type, drive-on hoist.

NOTE: When a frame-contact type hoist is used, verify that the lifting pads are positioned properly.
