!WARNING!
The use of portable automotive lifting and support devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot
be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common
sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation
of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the
equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads
caused primarily by improperly secured loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than
hard, level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
•Read, study, understand, and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• Inspect the jack stands before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor
condition, or have loose or missing hardware or parts. Make corrections before using the stands.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Use as a matched pair only
• Do not use beyond rated capacity. Do not shock load.
• Maximum load capacity per matched pair shall not exceed the rated capacity of the individual
stand.
• Use only on a hard, level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Stands are to be used in matched pairs to support one end of a vehicle only. Do not simultaneously
support both ends or one side of a vehicle.
• Apply the emergency brake, put the gear shift lever in park or gear if a manual shift transmission,
and chock the tires that will not be lifted off the ground.
• Centre load on saddle. Do not use saddle lugs to support the load.
• Check the stands for solid contact with the ground and vehicle.
• Make sure the stand's locking pins are fully engaging the stand on both sides and the support
column saddle is making contact with a vehicle support surface that can support the load.
• Ensure both stands are set at same height and locking pawls are fully engaging the support
column's teeth.
•Do not crawl under vehicle when placing/removing stands.
•Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the proper frame support locations.
• No alterations shall be made to these stands.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property
damage.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT AVOIDING HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
Failure to read this manual completely and thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY WARNINGS, MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS and comply with them,
and failure to comply with the METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS could cause
accidents resulting in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.

!ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the support column in the stand where the locking holes in the column are facing the locking
pin attachment location.
2. Most pin-type jack stands are designed with a support column that can always be removed from the
stand; therefore do not attempt to move or lift the stand by pulling up on the column or its saddle.
3. Some stands are equipped with a storage holder for the locking pin. Locking pins connected to the
stand by way of a tether or lanyard should not be stored in the stand's support column receiver hole.
!OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the work floor is clean and free of debris and obstacles.
2. Chock the vehicle's tires that will not be lifted. Make sure the emergency brake is on and the
vehicle's transmission is either in the park mode or gear if a manual transmission.
3. Raise the vehicle to a safe working height and make sure the jack and vehicle setup are stable
before positioning the jack stands. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR
REMOVE STANDS.
4. Position the jack stands right below the areas of the vehicle to be supported.
5. Lift the support columns as close to the vehicle as possible without the saddles on the columns
coming in contact with the vehicle. Make sure the stand’s locking pin is fully engaging the stand on
both sides. Never use the stand's lower support plate as a load-bearing surface for the locking pin.
6. Slowly and carefully lower the vehicle on the jack stands. Shock loads or loads dropped abruptly
on stands can cause premature metal fatigue or even stand failure depending on the weight of
the vehicle and the speed of decent that impacts the stands' support columns. DO NOT CRAWL
UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR REMOVE STANDS.
7. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough off the stands where the stands can be
easily removed.
!PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Always store the jack stands in a well-protected area where they will not be exposed to inclement
weather, corrosive vapours, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The stands must be cleaned
of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease, or other foreign matter before using.
2. Every jack stand owner is responsible for keeping the stand labels clean and readable. Use a mild
soap solution to wash external surfaces of the stand. Contact Strongarm for a replacement label if
your stand's label is not readable.
3. Inspect the stands before each use. Do not use the stands if any component is cracked, broken,
or bent. Do not use the stand if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified
in any way. Take corrective action before using the stand again. Premature wearing or damage to
components caused by loose or missing hardware is not eligible for warranty consideration.
