10. Plan location of jack and vehicle support stands beneath vehicle, making sure jack will be contacting only a jack
support area of vehicle, and vehicle support stands are also positioned in a recommended jack support area. Consult
vehicle owner’s manual for location of jack support areas. CHECK THAT NO PART OF THE UNDERBODY OF THE
VEHICLE WILL FOUL AS THE STANDS ARE POSITIONED. ENSURE THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS FULLY
ENGAGED.
11. DO NOT EXTEND THE HEIGHT OF THE STAND BEYOND ITS MAXIMUM WORKING HEIGHT, NOR USE ANY ITEMS
SUCH AS BRICKS OR TIMBER TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. MODIFICATIONS MUST NOT BE CARRIED OUT OR
ACCESSORIES ADDED.
Lifting The Vehicle
Lifting a vehicle using a jack can be dangerous. Follow all instructions and precautions provided by the jack manufacturer.
Do not lift any vehicle with its engine running or start any vehicle that is supported by jack or vehicle support stands.
1. With lifting arm completely lowered, roll jack into position beneath jack support area of vehicle.
2. Inspect position of lifting saddle beneath support area, making sure it is centered and properly engaging support area.
3. Use jack until vehicle is lifted to desired height. Pay attention to lifting saddle position as vehicle is being raised to be
sure there is no danger of jack support area slipping off or lifting from the saddle.
4. Place vehicle support stands under additional vehicle support areas. ALWAYS USE VEHICLE SUPPORT STANDS IN
PAIRS.
5. Ensure vehicle support stand locking mechanism is fully engaged.
6. Do not extend the height of the stand beyond its maxiumum height.
7. Check that no part of the underbody of the vehicle will foul as the stands are positioned.

9. Lower jack so as saddle does not bear any weight but do not remove jack from jacking position.
Working on Vehicle
Any vehicle being supported by a Jack or Vehicle support stands creates a potentially hazardous working environment.
Do not move or roll a Jack that is supporting a vehicle. Never place any part of your body beneath a vehicle supported
by a Jack. Be careful of forces applied to vehicle such as torque on a nut or bolt. These forces could cause vehicle
to become unstable on Vehicle support stands if they are not properly placed. Do not turn on the vehicle’s ignition or
attempt to start any vehicle supported by a Jack or Vehicle support stands.
Lowering the Vehicle
Caution!:
Make certain that all personnel are clear of the vehicle before lowering. Control the rate of descent of the
vehicle at all times. The more you open the Release Valve, the faster the vehicle descends.
1. Re-position jack under same support area used to lift vehicle.
2. Raise Jack until lifting saddle just makes contact with support area under vehicle.
3. Check to be sure lifting saddle is centered under support area. Slowly lift vehicle off from vehicle support stands.
4. Remove vehicle support stands, setting them aside, well clear of vehicle.
5. SLOWLY lower vehicle.
6. Carefully control speed of descending vehicle. Lowering a vehicle too fast can cause property damage or injury.
