WARNING: Do not position a jack, jack stand or wheel free support under the suspension attachment points.

CAUTION: When lifting the side of the vehicle with a workshop jack, ensure that the jack head is positioned under the reinforced area of the sill, as shown.

WHEEL-FREE LIFT

If crossbeams are available, locate the pads under the sill reinforced jacking brackets (3, 4) and (5, 6).

If longitudinal beams are available, locate the beams under the subframe longitudinals with lifting pads at the front and rear positions (7 and 8). Raise the lift a few inches and ensure the vehicle is firmly supported. Raise the lift to full height and inspect the lifting points for security.

RECOVERY

It is recommended that a recovery trailer or two wheel car ambulance be used. In an emergency, the car may be towed on its own wheels using the front lashing/towing eyes (9).

SUSPENDED TOW: Cannot be carried out without incurring damage. If additional damage is immaterial because of existing crash damage, lifting chains can be attached to the towing eyes.

Before towing commences, release the handbrake, place the gear lever in neutral and the ignition switch at ’I’. Do not tow at a greater speed than 30 mph, 50 km/h. On no account should the vehicle be towed with the rear wheels on the ground if the transmission is faulty, the transmission fluid level is low, or the towing distance exceeds 30 miles or 50 km.

TRANSPORTER OR TRAILER LASHING: Use the front towing eyes, and specific lashing points for rear of car. DO NOT secure lashing hooks or trailer fixings to other parts of the car.
