9-2. Setting the Supporter
1. The swing arm rotates freely when at its lowest position. Rotate, extend, and retract the swing arm
to adjust so that the supporter reaches the correct lifting point for the vehicle model.
2. Raise the vehicle horizontally, and rotate the supporter and adjust the height of the supporter
rubbers so that the supporter rubbers accurately contact the lifting point to distribute the weight on
all 4 supporter sites equally.
*
Adjust the height of the supporter so that the weight is distributed on the 4 supporter
points evenly before use.
There is a risk of the supporter detaching and the vehicle falling if the weight is uneven.
*
Make sure to set the supporter on the lifting point correctly.
Incorrect setting risks the supporter detaching and the vehicle falling or being damaged.
*
Replace promptly if the supporter rubber is damaged or worn.
There is a risk of the supporter detaching and the vehicle falling.
For correct lifting points, see the respective vehicle service manual.
*
Depending on the vehicle model, the swing arm may hit easily under the door.
If so, adjust the supporter adjustment screws to a suitable height before use.
*
Spread the swing arm as wide as possible before use.
*
When raising a RV or compact truck, use the special frame attachments for truck. Lifting
recklessly using the passenger vehicle supporter risks the supporter detaching and the
car falling.
