Operation
Preparing Work Area
Before using vehicle support stands and a jack to lift vehicle, it is important to prepare work area properly and CONDUCT A
PREOPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE EQUIPMENT. Follow this procedure each time a jack and support stands are used to
help prevent property damage and or serious injury.
Caution: ENSURE THAT EACH STAND IS SECURELY LOCATED UNDER A STRONG POINT OF THE VEHICLE. CONSULT THE
VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS MANUAL FOR GUIDANCE. DO NOT EXTEND THE HEIGHT OF THE STAND BEYOND ITS MAXI
MUM WORKING HEIGHT, NOR USE ANY ITEM SUCH AS BRICKS OR TIMBER TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. MODIFICATIONS
MUST NOT BE CARRIED OUT OR ACCESSORIES ADDED.
1. Thoroughly inspect vehicle support stands for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded stands
before using to support any load.
2. Consult vehicle owner’s manual for safety precautions, jacking procedure, vehicle weight, recommended jack type and
location of jack and vehicle support stands areas on vehicle. NEVER EXCEED WORKING LOAD LIMIT. CONFIRM THAT THE
LOAD TO BE APPLIED DOES NOT EXCEED THE WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF THE VEHICLE SUPPORT STANDS.
3. Clear children and others from work area before moving or lifting vehicle. Another adult should be nearby for extra safety
and assistance but must be clear of vehicle as it is moved or lifted.
4. No person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked or supported by vehicle support stands, No person should
enter a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands. No person should lean into a vehicle which is
supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands.
5. Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
6. Be sure vehicle support stands and vehicle are on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor.
USE VEHICLE SUPPORT STANDS ON A HARD LEVEL SURFACE, SUCH AS CONCRETE. Uneven or sloped surfaces create
hazardous working conditions and dangerously impeded the function of the support stands.
7. With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake or emergency brake and put gearshift in park (manual
transmissions should be placed in lowest gear). Turn vehicle ignition off and to the “lock” position making sure steering
wheel locks.
8. Do not rely on vehicle transmission or brakes to hold vehicle in position. CHOCK THE UNLIFTED WHEELS OF THE
VEHICLE. Chock any wheel not being lifted off the ground to prevent the vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that
tyre cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
9. Vehicle support stands must be used to support vehicle once it is in raised position. USE VEHICLE SUPPORT STANDS
IN PAIRS. Have vehicle support stands capable of supporting vehicle weight ready nearby for use. Read and understand
vehicle support stands manufacturer’s instructions and safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with
this jack.
