Vehicle Lifting Caution

Vehicle Lifting Caution

Caution: To help avoid personal injury, when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle at the opposite end from which you are removing components. The additional support will reduce the possibility of the vehicle falling off the hoist. When you are removing major components from the vehicle while the vehicle is on a hoist, chain the vehicle frame to the hoist pads at the same end from which you are removing the major components to prevent tip-off. If you fail to follow these precautionary measures, vehicle damage, serious personal injury, or death may result.
