• Use extreme caution when lifting vehicles from the sides. Always make sure that
the height between the floor and the bottom of the raised tyre is never more than
one fourth (1/4th) of the vehicle’s tread width. If this value is exceeded, the vehicle
could reach a point of instability and tip over, or the angle of the frame could cause
the jack to kick out and drop the load.
• When tilting the vehicle, the minimum distance to walls or other fixed objects must
not be less than 0.5 m.
• Bystanders who are not working on the vehicle must keep a minimum distance of
0.5 m from the vehicle.
• The vehicle must not be tilted if this can cause engine fuel, battery acid or other
liquids to flow out of the vehicle.
• There must be no persons in the vehicle during lifting.
• The user must not move the garage jack when it is loaded.
• Never carry out maintenance on a loaded garage jack.
• Do not drive the vehicle off the jack or attempt to move the vehicle at any time when
it is supported by the jack.
• Wear safety gloves and safety shoes.
