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
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 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. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR
REMOVE 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 stand’s locking pin is fully engaging the stand on
both sides. Never use the stand's lower support plate as a load-bearing surface for the locking pin.
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 decent that impacts the stands' support columns. DO NOT CRAWL
UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR REMOVE STANDS.
7. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough off the stands where the stands can be
easily removed.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Always store the jack stands in a well-protected area where they will not be exposed to inclement
weather, corrosive vapours, 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 Strongarm 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.
