When using your jack stand, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and / or damage to the stand.
Read all of these instructions before operating the stand and save this user manual for
future reference.
The stand should not be modified or used for any application other than that for which
it was designed.
The stand was designed to support one end of a vehicle, or similar after it has been
raised by a jack or similar.
If you are unsure of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us and we will
be more than happy to advise you.
Before each use of the stand always check no parts are broken and that no parts are
missing.
Always operate the stand safely and correctly.
KNOW YOUR JACK STAND: Read and understand the owner's manual and labels af-
fixed to the stand. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the potential haz-
ards specific to it.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT: Cluttered work benches and dark areas invite
accidents. Floors must not be slippery due to fuel, oil, water or sawdust etc.
KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All visitors
should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
STORE THE STAND SAFELY WHEN NOT IN USE: The stand should be stored in a dry loca-
tion and out of the reach of children.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not oper-
ate or work around the stand when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: Use as a pair to lift one end of the vehicle ONLY.
The jack stands come already assembled, but the column retaining tab needs to be
‘pressed in’ to hold the centre column in place.
Remove the jack stands from their packaging.
Cut the cable tie holding the centre column in place during transit.
Ensure that the centre column is inserted correctly and that it moves freely.
Using a hammer / punch (not supplied) tap the retaining tab (D, Page 7) in place so
that it stops the centre column from being removed.
Follow these instructions for both jack stands.
1. Chock the vehicle’s wheels which are to be left on the ground.
2. Lift the vehicle to the desired height using an appropriately rated jack.
3. Ensure the jack and vehicle are at a safe working height and the setup is stable
before positioning the jack stands.
4. Position the jack stands right below the area of the vehicle to be supported.
5. Extend the support columns to the proper height adjustment as close to the
vehicle as you can without the saddles touching the vehicle frame or support.
points. Make sure the locking pawls are fully engaged with the column’s teeth
6. Slowly and gently lower the load on to the jack stand saddles. Shock loads or
loads dropped abruptly on stands can cause premature metal fatigue or even
vehicle damage depending on the weight of the vehicle and the speed of
decent that impacts the stands’ support columns.
7. After the work is done, pump the jack high enough to remove the vehicle or
load from the jack stand saddles. Be sure load is stable. If it is not, lower load
back onto jack stands. Make appropriate setup corrections and repeat the step
again. Remove the jack stands from under the vehicle taking care not to move
the vehicle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: Ensure the vehicle does not exceed the capacity of the jack
stands.
It is the responsibility of the owner/ operator to visually inspect the stands before and
after each use, checking for cracked welds, damage, loose or missing parts. Any
stands with visual defects, loss of components or exposure to abnormal loads or shock
should not be used and must be inspected by an SIP authorized service centre.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the stand, any damage found
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly, safely and per-
form its intended function. Any damaged, split or missing parts that may affect its op-
eration should be correctly repaired or replaced before operation.
HAVE YOUR STAND REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The stand is in accordance with
the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified per-
sons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the
user.
WARNING! Only operate on a level and stable surface and never use on soft ground
where the jack stands are likely to “sink” whilst in operation.
DANGER! Great care must be taken to ensure you lower the vehicle slowly and care-
fully onto the centres of the axle stands.
DO NOT use a single stand - only use in pairs.
DO NOT use four stands on one vehicle.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations; Don't
be lulled into a false sense of security.
Do not modify the stand to do tasks other than those intended.
Check the vehicle owners manual for correct vehicle weight - do not exceed
axle stands’ safe working load.
Ensure the load is centred on the saddle of the jack stands.
Securely chock wheels remaining on the ground.
Ensure that each stand is securely located under a strong point on the vehicle -
consult vehicle owner’s manual for guidance.
Ensure that vehicle and stands are stable before starting work.
Make sure that the operator informs a responsible person before commencing
work in case of an accident / emergency.
CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the oper-
