Identify a lift point on the vehicle and
position the jack
1.
Identify a lift point on the vehicle that is capable of
supporting the load. Lift only on areas of the vehicle
specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The lift point must
be strong enough to sustain the lifting force without
damage to the vehicle.
2.
If using only one jack to raise one end of the vehicle,
make sure that the jack is balanced side-to- side.
With one jack, it is extremely important to ensure the
load is level and stable during and after lifting. Loads
that are not balanced can result in tipping of the jack
which can result in loss of the load, leading to
personal injury, death, and/or property damage.
3.
Position the unit(s) under the vehicle by using the
handle and place according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lifting points
7.4
Raise the vehicle
1.
Raise the lift post manually on each jack to engage
the manufacturer’s recommended lift point. If using
two jacks as a pair, keep both lift posts at equal
heights. For each jack being used, insert the stand pin
in the nearest hole in the lift post so that the stand pin
fully engages both sides of the piston rod. This
position may not fully engage the lift point on the
vehicle until the unit is pressurized to lift the load.
2.
If the lift post is not fully engaged with the lift point,
slowly apply air pressure until the lift post saddle
engages the lift points on the vehicle. Before raising
the vehicle, ensure that the lift post saddle is
positioned such that the lift point is cradled and
captured on both sides by the saddle ears on each
side of the lift post. Never lift a load with it resting on
top of an ear of the lift post saddle.
3.
Apply air pressure to continue raising the vehicle. If
using a pair of jacks, use the air control valves to keep
the vehicle level while lifting. Once the proper height
has been achieved, insert the other stand pin through
the hole in the piston rod (for each jack being used),
such that the pins fully engage both sides of the head
plate when lowered.
7.5
Support the vehicle.
1.
Make sure the vehicle is stable. If using two units,
make sure the vehicle is level. For each jack being
used, check that the stand pin is fully engaged with
the notches on both sides of the head plate. Slowly
release the air pressure to lower the vehicle so that it
is supported by the stand pins (and not the air
pressure from the jack). Fully discharge the air
pressure from the jack.
2.
Before beginning work or placing any part of your
body under the vehicle, check one last time to ensure
the vehicle is stable and level (between a pair of jacks
or on a single jack).
3.
When work is completed, reverse the process
described in this section to lower the vehicle.
