7. Ensure that the axle stands cannot move when supporting the load and
are on firm, level ground. Use suitable wheel chocks to stop the vehicle
from moving.
NOTE: The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important
therefore, that the floor is clean and completely free from debris.
8. To stop it lowering at any point, turn the handle clockwise again. Always
avoid a rapid descent by turning the handle slowly.
9. Carefully lower the vehicle onto the axle stand, checking constantly,
preferably with an assistant, that the vehicles jacking point rests snugly and
cleanly on the axle stand, and that the stand is stable before the weight is
taken.
NOTE: Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. DO
NOT allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage
internal parts.
Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
