0.4. Jacking-up of the Vehicle

Due to the construction of the vehicle, a jack and/or chassis stands should only be placed under the vehicle as follows:

For smaller jobs the vehicle jack can be used in accordance with the instructions in the Operators Manual and then place a chassis stand underneath the side of the body. Take care not to damage the paint work.

To jack up the front end of the vehicle, apply the handbrake and if available, chock the rear wheels with wedges (a brick will do in emergency). To jack up the rear end of the vehicle, engage the reverse or 1st gear. Avoid to lift-up one side of the vehicle higher than necessary to remove a wheel.

Always use secure chassis stands when working underneath the vehicle. The pads of the chassis stands should be flat, i.e. the normally used stands with “V”-shaped pads should be avoided. Always make sure that the ground where you place the jack, is not too soft. It cannot be emphasised enough. Accidents must be avoided by all means.

Ramps are perhaps the best solution to carry out operations underneath the vehicle, but again we must stress the height of the vehicle.

It has happened: Never jack up the vehicle inside your garage without checking the height of the ceiling. Before you know, the van roof will touch the ceiling and could be damaged.
