Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

HOISTING

STANDARD PROCEDURE

HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING: The hoisting and jack lifting points provided are for a complete vehicle. When a chassis or drivetrain component is removed from a vehicle, the center of gravity is altered making some hoisting conditions unstable. Properly support or secure vehicle to hoisting device when these conditions exist.

FLOOR JACK





CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift a vehicle with a floor jack positioned under:
^ An axle tube.
^ Aluminum differential.
^ A body side sill.
^ A steering linkage component.
^ A drive shaft.
^ The engine or transmission oil pan.
^ The fuel tank.
^ A front suspension arm.

When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to lift a Raider. Support the vehicle in the raised position with jack stands at the front and rear ends of the frame rails.

HOIST

A vehicle can be lifted with:
^ A single-post, frame-contact hoist.
^ A twin-post, chassis hoist.
^ A ramp-type, drive-on hoist.

NOTE: When a frame-contact type hoist is used, verify that the lifting pads are positioned properly.
