Safety precautions
Warning!
Before driving on to a hoist ensure there is
sufficient clearance between low lying vehicle
components and hoist.
Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it
must be ensured that the vehicle weight does
not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the
platform.
Vehicle may only be lifted at points indicated in
illustration in order to avoid damaging vehicle
floor pan and to prevent vehicle from tipping.
Never start engine and engage a gear with
vehicle lifted so long as even one wheel has
contact with the floor. There is a risk of an
accident if this is not observed!
If work is to be performed under vehicle it must
be supported by suitable stands.
