Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
GENERAL VEHICLE LIFTING AND JACKING
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 components are being removed. The additional support will reduce the possibility of the vehicle falling off the hoist. When removing major components from the vehicle while the vehicle is on a hoist, the vehicle frame should be chained to the hoist pads at the same end as the removed components to prevent tip-off. Failure to follow these precautionary measures could result in vehicle damage, serious personal injury, or death.
NOTICE: When jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rails or other established lift points, be certain that lift pads do not contact the exhaust system, brake pipes, parking brake cables, fuel pipes/hoses or the underbody. Such contact may result in damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.
