jacked using two standard aircraft hydraulic jacks at the wing jacking
points and a weighted tailstand attached to the tail tiedown.
Raise Airplane
Do not jack the aircraft outside or in open hangar with winds in
excess of 10 mph.
The empty CG is forward of the wing jacking points. To prevent
airplane from tipping forward during maintenance or jacking,
use a weighted tailstand (300-lb minimum) attached to the tail
tiedown.

(pad) into wing tiedown receptacle. Holding the jack point (pad) in
place, position the jack under the point and raise the jack to firmly
contact the jack point. Repeat for opposite jacking point.
