If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack
may slip or collapse - risk of injury! Take
care to position the jack strictly at one of the
jacking points under the vehicle, ensuring
that the head of the jack is centred under
the contact area on the vehicle. Otherwise,
there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/
or of the jack collapsing - risk of injury!
