Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation
JACKING AND LIFTING
WARNING:
-
Block all wheels, set the parking brake and firmly apply the service brake to reduce the risk of vehicle movement during this procedure.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
-
Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on an uneven or soft surface may result in
vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally lower. Always support vehicle with floor
stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
-
The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle,
never use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose.
-
Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to bumper covers will occur.
-
To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift without first checking for possible
interference.
-
Make sure the jack has an adequate lifting capacity for the vehicle being lifted, or damage to the vehicle may occur.
-
When raising a vehicle on a twin-post hoist, use care when positioning the vehicle so that the hoisting forks do not interfere with the
suspension components, mounting brackets or stabilizer mounting brackets, if so equipped. In addition, use care in hoist positioning to
avoid possible damage to the axle carrier or rear cover.
-
Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters
prior to lifting the vehicle.
