SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
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. These 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
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
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 in 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 support points as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
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 support columns are secured to the stands by way of the locking pins.
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 descent that
impacts the stands' support columns. The load should be supported in the center of the support column saddles.
7. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough off the stands where the stands can be easily removed.
DO NOT CRAWL
UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR REMOVE STANDS.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack stands in a well protected area where they will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
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 stands. Contact K-Tool International 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.
