Jacking & Hoisting: Hoist

WARNING: The vehicle cannot be supported safely in a wheel-free condition using the wheel-free facility of a 4-post ramp, and under no circumstances must this method be employed.
WARNING: The front and rear suspension lower arms MUST NOT be used as lifting and/or jacking points.

A wheel-free condition may only be achieved on a 4-post ramp by raising each end of the vehicle and positioning axle stands beneath the recommended customer jacking points. See Fig 1. A piece of hardwood or a rubber block MUST BE positioned between each axle stand and the jacking point to avoid damaging any components. Alternatively, support the vehicle on an approved 2-post lift with the arms of the lift beneath the recommended customer jacking points. See Fig 2. A piece of hardwood or a rubber block MUST BE positioned between the lifting equipment and the jacking points to avoid damaging any components.
