Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation
JACKING AND LIFTING
WARNING:
-
Vehicle may have multiple drive wheels. Do not use engine to power the driveline unless all drive wheels are elevated off the ground.
Drive wheels in contact with ground could cause unexpected vehicle movement. 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.
-
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.
-
Identify the correct jacking points by locating the triangle stamped into the uni-body sheet metal or vehicle frame. Raising a vehicle in
any other location may result in vehicle shifting or falling. Failure to follow this instruction 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.
-
Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front or rear control arms, halfshafts or front wheel constant velocity
(CV) joints. Severe damage to the vehicle may result.
-
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.
-
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 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.
