Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation
JACKING AND LIFTING
WARNING:
-
Shut off the electrical power to the air suspension system prior to hoisting or jacking an air suspension equipped vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
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.
-
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.
-
When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking brake if the rear wheels will remain on the
ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle movement. 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.
-
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.
