G Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise the vehi-
cle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
If you intend to work under the vehicle, it
must be placed on stands.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar as jacking supports. Oth-
erwise, the jack will not be able to achieve
its load-bearing capacity due to the restric-
ted height.
