ASSEMBLY, OPERATION & PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1.
FEATURES
TradeQuip Jack Stands are ideally suited to the professional trade workshop. These ratchet type jack stands are designed with
a cast iron support post, tough steel plate welded base and deep saddle for positive location under the vehicle. The cast iron
post is equipped with angled teeth to prevent accidental release of load - the more weight applied, the tighter the post is
locked.

ASSEMBLY

2.
Move the ratchet bar to its lowest position by raising the locking handle and guiding the bar downward.
3.
Secure the ratchet bar into the frame by bending the locking tab inwards using a hammer and punch. This will help
