1. SAFETY
WARNING! DO NOT overload Axle stands beyond rated capacity. Overloading can cause damage to, or failure of, the axle
stands. Position load on centre of crutch/saddle only. Always use stands in pairs on hard level surface capable of sustaining
the load. Use of stands on other than hard level surfaces can result in load instability and possible loss of load. DO NOT
use on tarmacadam. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to axle stands, loss of load resulting in
property damage, serious personal injury or loss of life.
▲DANGER! Great care must be taken to ensure you lower the vehicle (or other load) slowly and carefully onto the centres of
the crutch/saddle of the axle stands.
9Use only as specified by the manufacturer.
9Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum capacity as marked on the axle stand, per pair.
9Use no more than a single pair of stands either on the front, rear or one side of the vehicle. Use in pairs.
9No alterations or modifications shall be made to this product.
9Use on a hard, level surface, e.g. concrete. Do not use on uneven ground or tarmacadam.
9Securely chock wheels in contact with the ground. Before jacking and placing the stands, apply vehicle handbrake, and place in gear.
(For automatics select the ‘Park’ mode).
9Make sure that each stand is securely located under a strong point on the vehicle; consult the vehicle manufacturer’s
handbook for guidance. Ensure that height adjust locking mechanism is fully located before applying any load to the
axle stand.
9Ensure that the load is located centrally on the saddle, and that the weight is directed through the vertical axis of the
stand.
9Exercise extra care when using with a three wheeled vehicle or a trailer. Refer to vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
9Once vehicle is supported, ensure that the vehicle and stands are stable before starting work. Ensure that it is not
possible for the vehicle to move before commencing any work.
9Inspect stands before each use.
8DO NOT use if they show signs of damage.
8DO NOT use if it is suspected that they have been overloaded.
9Before commencing any work or going beneath the vehicle, undertake a risk assessment. Ensure that a responsible person is aware
of the work about to be undertaken.
9Replace any labels on the axle stand should they become unreadable. This applies in particular to any warning or operation instruction
labels. If replacement labels are required, contact your Sealey stockist.
8DO NOT use axle stands on the highway, or anywhere else if it is deemed to be unsafe.
8DO NOT push or twist the vehicle/load whilst it is supported on stands.
8DO NOT mix components between stands. Use only as supplied.
8DO NOT allow children or animals in the vicinity of a vehicle supported on axle stands.
8DO NOT leave a vehicle on axle stands in an area that could be considered a hazard to others or property.
9Follow steps 1, 2 and 3 to correctly place vehicle/load onto axle stands.

Refer to
instructions
TAKE CARE; you may know the total weight of the load you want to support but you cannot calculate the exact
weight distribution between support points.
For this reason always allow a 40% margin for error.
For example: a load weighing 40tonne could have a single point load of more than 20tonne and two 20tonne
supports would not be adequate.

2. INTRODUCTION
Heavy-duty axle stands to safely support vehicles for extended periods of time. Large crutch for even load distribution. Heavy gauge steel frame
and base plate with welded construction gives superior strength and safety. Supplied with captive, multi-position pin load support. Sold in pairs.

position stands under vehicle at points recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
4.7. Carefully and slowly lower the load onto stands. Ensure the load bearing points sit in the center of the stand saddle and check that
