6. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so
that it makes contact with the car's jacking
point. Check that the head of the jack (or lift-
ing arms at a workshop) is correctly posi-
tioned in the jacking point so that the bump in
the centre of the head fits into the jacking
point hole, and check that the base of the jack
is positioned vertically below the jacking
point.
7. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far away
from the side of the car as possible, at which
point the jack's arms are perpendicular to the
direction of the car.
8. Raise the car to an appropriate height,
depending on what is to be done.

WARNING
• • Check that the jack is not damaged,
that the threads are thoroughly
lubricated and that it is free from dirt.
• Check that the jack is resting on a
firm, level surface that is not slippery
and is not slanted.
• Never position anything between
the ground and the jack, nor
between the jack and the car's jack-
ing point.
• Passengers must leave the car
when it is raised on the jack.
• If a wheel has to be changed in an
environment where there is lots of
traffic, for example, passengers
must remain in a safe place.
• Use a jack designed for the car
when changing wheels. Use sup-
ports to secure the car for all other
work.
• Never crawl under the car or reach
under with a part of your body when
it is raised on a jack.
• If the car is raised using a workshop
jack, this must be placed beneath one
of the four jacking points. Take care to
position the workshop jack so that the
car cannot slip off. Make sure that the
jack plate is fitted with a rubber guard
so that the car remains stable and is
not damaged. Always use axle stands
or similar.
