WARNING
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
NEVER work on, under or around a
load supported only by a hydraulic jack.
ALWAYS use adequately rated jack
stands.
OPERATION
Supporting a load
WARNING:
Use only on areas of the vehicle specified
by the vehicle manufacturer. Use only on vehicles
whose support points are compatible with the saddle
of these jack stands. Incompatibility may result in
structural damage to the vehicle and/or jack stand.
Structural damage to either may result in sudden and
unexpected loss of load height.
1. Adjust height by pulling up on ratchet bar.
2. Locking handle weight should secure the ratchet bar in desired position. To confirm this, push down on the locking
handle. Ensure locking handle and ratchet bar are secure before loading.
3.
Carefully
position jack stands so that load is centered on saddle.
4.
Slowly
lower the vehicle onto the stands.
5. Ensure vehicle is secure before working on, around or under. Use wheel chocks on all unlifted wheels in both
directions to prevent inadvertent movement.
Lowering load
WARNING:
Clear all tools and personnel before lowering load.
1. Using suitable jack, raise vehicle clear of stands.
2. Release locking handle and adjust ratchet bar to lowest position.
3. Remove stands, then lower vehicle.
MAINTENANCE

uct. If rust appears, sand affected area and cover with suitable utility paint. Please note that there are no replace-
ment parts applicable to this equipment. Replacement stands must be purchased as a matched pair.
