Lift And Jack

When using a lift or shop jack to raise a vehicle or using rigid rack to support a vehicle, always follow instructions concerning jack-up points and weight limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which could result in injury. Be especially careful that the vehicle is balanced before raising it. Be sure to set the wheel stoppers when jacking-up only the front or rear side of the vehicle.

NOTE:
  • When using a lift, follow its operation manual before work.
  • When the side sill cover contacts the lift arm, use a lift attachment.
  • Do not work or leave unattended while the vehicle is supported with jack, support it with rigid racks.
  • Be sure to use the rigid racks with rubber attached to cradle to support the vehicle.
  • When using a plate lift, use a rubber attachment. (Model with side sill cover)
