Operating Instructions
Supporting a Vehicle
1. Make sure the vehicle does not exceed the capacity
of the Jack Stands.
Note: Check that the weight
is evenly distributed between the Jack Stands.
You must evenly distribute the weight
or the
Jack Stands may fail, causing severe injury
or death.
Only apply the load vertically.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
If a
vehicle drops on the Jack Stands (even if it is under
the weight capacity limit), the principle of “dynamic
loading” takes affect. The force of the weight
falling may cause the Jack Stands to fail. A vehicle
weighing much less than the Jack capacity may
cause the Jack Stands to fail if dropped on them.
2. Examine Jack Stands for cracks or damage before
each use. Do not use if even a minor crack,
bend, or other damage/deformation appears.
Discard Jack Stand if damaged or deformed.
3. If your are raising only one end of the vehicle,
block the tires that remain on the ground.
4. Following the instructions in your floor jack
manual, raise your vehicle to just above the
minimum height of your Jack Stands.
5. Slide your Jack Stands to the proper position points
referred to in the vehicle owner’s manual. Make
sure the Jack Stands are on the same point on each
side of the vehicle. Raise post and secure height
by sliding Support Bar through hole on Post.
Note:
Insert Support Bar so that there are equal
amounts of the Bar on either side of the Post.
6. Center the load on the Saddle of the Post.
7. Gently lower the vehicle with the floor
jack. Repeat on other side.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Set both the Jack Stands to the same height.
8. Determine if the vehicle is stable. If not, raise
the vehicle and reposition the Jack Stands.
Removing Jack Stands
1. Raise the vehicle with a floor jack to take
the load off of the Jack Stands.
2. Remove Support Bar from the Post. Allow
post to lower to lowest position.
3. Remove the Jack Stands. Use the floor jack
to safely lower the vehicle to the ground.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not use Jack Stands as a permanent stand for
the vehicle. Use them only while making repairs,
then immediately lower vehicle to the ground.
