Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

Lift and Support Points 

Frame Hoist 

Position the hoist lift blocks (A), on safety stands, under the vehicle's front support points (B) and rear support points (C).

1. Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters), and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is firmly supported.
2. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift points for solid contact with the lift blocks.

If you are going to remove heavy components such as suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with a
tall safety stand. When substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change and cause the vehicle to tip forward
on the hoist.

Safety Stands 

To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points (B and C) as for a frame hoist. Always use safety stands when working on or under
any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

Floor Jack 

1. Set the parking brake.
2. Place a rubber pad between the lift platform and the center support point.

NOTE:  The platform must contact the center support point only; it must not come in contact with any other part of the vehicle.

3. Position the floor jack under the left or right center support point (A), center the jack lift platform (B) on the jacking point, and jack up the vehicle

high enough to fit the safety stands under it.

4. Position the safety stands under the support points and adjust them so the vehicle will be level.
