Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

Lift and Safety Stands
1. Place the lift blocks as shown.
2. Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters), and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift points for solid support.

NOTE: Use the same support points to support the vehicle on safety stands.




Floor Jack
1. Block the rear wheels when raising the front of the vehicle; block the front wheels when raising the rear of the vehicle.
Place the blocks behind and ahead of the wheels.
2. Raise the vehicle high enough to insert the safety stands.
3. Adjust and place the safety stands so the vehicle will be approximately level, then lower the vehicle onto them.

WARNING:
- Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported by only a lack.
- Never attempt to use a bumper lack for lifting or supporting the vehicle.
