– Position the lifting jack by selecting the jacking point - lower sill
- which is closest to the wheel to be removed
fig. 145.
– Position the lifting jack below the jacking point and move it up
until its claw is positioned directly below the vertical web of the
lower sill.
– Align the lifting jack so that its claw grasps the web of the lower

sill and the moving base plate of the jack
against firm ground.
– Turn the lifting jack up further until the wheel is just clear of the
ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery can cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. It is therefore always necessary to place the
lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-
slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth, such as
cobbled stones, a tiled floor,etc.
WARNING
•
Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack
from slipping off - risk of injury!
•
Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result
in damage to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not
have sufficient grip - risk of injury!.
•
It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting
blocks if you wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!
