Description And Operation: Lifting

CAUTION: Do not allow the lift adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, stabilizer arms, or to compress the lower suspension arm stabilizer bar insulator. Damage to the suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
CAUTION: Never use the differential housing as a lift point. Damage to the differential housing and cover may occur.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift without first checking for possible interference. Check for interference between the upright flanges of the hoist rails and the underbody. If an interference exists, modify the hoist flanges or build up the approach ramps as necessary to provide clearance.
CAUTION: Adapters may be necessary to clear vehicle components to lift the vehicle safely. The adapters must be placed at the 4 designated contact points. Position the adapters so they are centered on the adapter contact area.
CAUTION: Do not position lift pads under the crossmember, body damage may occur.
CAUTION: Do not lift vehicle on convertible cross brace. Body damage may occur.
NOTE: Convertible shown, coupe similar.
