Lifting

Two-Post Lift

WARNING:  Make sure that the vehicle is stable before commencing work.

CAUTION:  If the drive shaft(s) are to be removed, release the parking brake and select NEUTRAL 'N' in the transmission in order that the
shaft(s) can be rotated when the vehicle is raised to the desired height.

1. Position the vehicle with the center of the lift pillars aligned approximately with the front of the driver/passenger seat cushions.

2. Extend the lifting arms and position the pad of each lifting arm beneath the approved points.
3. Raise the vehicle until the wheels are just clear of the ground and check that the pads of each lifting arm are still correctly positioned.
4. Raise the vehicle to the desired height.
5. Ensure the vehicle is correctly supported with the lifting pads in full contact with the approved points.

Vehicle on wheels - Four-Post Ramp

WARNING:

^

If the drive shaft(s) are to be disconnected, it will be necessary to raise all four wheels off the ramp in order that the shaft(s) can be
rotated.Refer to the 'Wheel Free Lift - Four-Post Ramp' section below for lifting instructions then release the parking brake and select
NEUTRAL in the transmission.

^

Do not push the vehicle backwards and forwards along the ramp in order to gain access to the drive shaft fixings.

Position the vehicle on the ramp with the front and rear wheels equidistant from the ends of the ramp.Chock the wheels, select NEUTRAL in the
transmission and where practical, apply the parking brake.

Wheel-Free Lift - Four-Post Ramp

NOTE: To enable the vehicle to be supported correctly on the wheel-free longitudinals, it will be necessary to produce 2 off each of the support blocks
to the dimensions given in the accompanying illustrations.The supporting part of each block must be manufactured from suitable hardwood or metal and
the 'U' shaped base of each block must be manufactured from metal.Note that it is essential to ensure that the 'U' shaped base of each block is wide
enough to fit over the wheel free longitudinals.
