Repair and Diagnosis: Service Precautions






Working with a car lift






Safety information

Warning! When working with objects on car lifts there is always a risk of a movement in the centre of gravity and the lifted object becoming unstable.

Warning! When dismantling components weighing approximately 100 kg at the rear of the vehicle it must be secured with straps/tensioner bands that run through the rear door openings (alternatively through the front door openings on 2 door cars) and under the rear lifting arms/lifting table.
