0-30 General Information
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, always use
jack stands when you are working on or under
any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, when a
vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for
the vehicle at the opposite end from which you
are removing components. The additional support
will reduce the possibility of the vehicle falling
off the hoist. When you are removing major
components from the vehicle while the vehicle is
on a hoist, chain the vehicle frame to the hoist
pads at the same end from which you are removing
the major components to prevent tip-off. If you
fail to follow these precautionary measures,
vehicle damage, serious personal injury, or death
may result.
Notice: When you are jacking or lifting a vehicle at
the frame side rails or other prescribed lift points,
be certain that the lift pads do not contact the catalytic
converter, the brake pipes or the fuel lines. If such
contact occurs, vehicle damage or unsatisfactory
vehicle performance may result.
For lifting the vehicle, various lift points are
recommended. Before you begin any lifting procedure,
be sure the vehicle is on a clean, hard, level surface.
Be sure all the lifting equipment meets weight
standards and is in good working order .. Be sure all
the vehicle loads are equally distributed and secure. If
you are only supporting the vehicle at the frame
side rails, make sure the lifting equipment does not
put too much stress on, or weaken, the frame
side rails.
If you use any other hoisting methods than those
called out, take special care not to damage the fuel
tanks, the exhaust system or the underbody.
