9. ALWAYS support load with jack stands. (See
figure 3) Place jack stands of appropriate
capacity (not included) beneath the vehicle
at locations recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer. DO NOT Get under the vehicle

jack stands. Then, collapse and remove jack
stand(s).
3. SLOWLY turn the handle counterclockwise
