WORKSHOP JACK

Front: Locate the jack head under the central location bracket (1). Position safety supports under both front sill reinforced brackets (2 and 3).

Rear: Locate the jack head under the rear towing eye (6). Position safety supports under both rear sill reinforced brackets (4 and 5).

Side: Locate the jack head pad under the reinforced bracket (2 or 3) of the front sill and position safety support under front longitudinals (7), jack under reinforced area (4 or 5) of the rear sill then position safety support under rear longitudinals (8).

WARNING: Do not attempt to jack under suspension attachment points.

WHEEL-FREE LIFT

If crossbeams are available, locate the pads under the sill reinforced jacking brackets (2, 3) and (4, 5).

If only longitudinal beams are available, locate the beams under the floor longitudinals with the 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 front 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.
