OPERATING MANUAL & PARTS LIST FOR 791-5280
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the support column in the stand where the locking holes in the column are facing the locking pin attachment location.
2. Most pin type jack stands are designed with a support column that can always be removed from the stand; therefore do not
attempt to move or lift the stand by pulling up on the column or its saddle.
3. Some stands are equipped with a storage holder for the locking pin. Locking pins connected to the stand by way of a tether or
lanyard should not be stored in the stand's support column receiver hole.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE
LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!
1. Make sure the work floor is clean and free of debris and obstacles.
2. Chock the vehicle's tires that will not be lifted. Make sure the emergency brake is on and the vehicle's transmission is either in the
park mode or in gear if a manual transmission.
3. Raise the vehicle to a safe working height and make sure the jack and vehicle setup are stable before positioning the jack stands.
4. Position the jack stands right below the areas of the vehicle to be supported.
5. Lift the support columns as close to the vehicle as possible without the saddles on the columns coming in contact with the
vehicle. Make sure the stands' locking pin is fully engaging the stand on both sides.
6. Slowly and carefully lower the vehicle on the jack stands. Shock loads or loads dropped abruptly on stands can cause premature
metal fatigue or even stand failure depending on the weight of the vehicle and the speed of descent that impacts the stands'
support columns.
7. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough off the stands where the stands can be easily removed.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jacks stands in a well protected area where they will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The stands must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign
matter before using.
2. Every jack stand owner is responsible for keeping the stand labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external
surfaces of the stand. Contact NAPA for a replacement label if your stand's label is not readable.
3. Inspect the stands before each use. Do not use the stands if any component is cracked, broken or bent. Do not use the stand if
it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the stand again.
Premature wearing or damage to components caused by loose or missing hardware is not eligible for warranty consideration.
