Lifting Vehicle With Hoist/Floor Jack
Lifting vehicle with hoist/floor jackCAUTION: The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from underneath the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, or the front or rear axle. This could lead to serious damage.
The same lifting points as illustrated for the hoist also apply when using a floor jack. To avoid damage to the underbody or chassis frame, it is necessary to insert a rubber pad between the floor jack and the lift points.
Ensure there is sufficient clearance between pads and vehicle before driving the vehicle on a hoist, especially if the vehicle has a large front panel or spoiler.
WARNING:
- when removing components such as engine block, transmission housing, fuel tank, wheels front, or rear axle, anchor vehicle to hoist or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of gravity. Otherwise the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist, causing serious damage or personal injury
- to reduce the risk of serious personal injury and vehicle damage, lift vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and floor jack lift points illustrated. Failure to lift vehicle at these points could cause the vehicle to tilt or fall from a lift when, for example, heavy components such as the engine block or transmission are removed resulting in a change in vehicle weight distribution and balance
- if you must lift your vehicle with a floor jack to work underneath, be sure the vehicle is safely supported on stands intended for this purpose
