Frame Contact Hoist

Position frame contact hoist on frame rails, forward of rear wheels and rearward of front wheels. See Fig 1 . Adapters must be positioned to distribute load and support vehicle in a stable manner. DO NOT allow lift pads to contact exhaust system components.

WARNING: If removing rear axle, fuel tank, spare tire or liftgate using single-post hoist, anchor vehicle to hoist. Place jack stands under vehicle, or add weight on rear end of vehicle to prevent tipping when center of gravity changes.
