make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavier
than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands
being used.
To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle
by the engine oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or
rear axles or suspension.
To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always
insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In
addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of the
vehicle.
