gently to be sure it is firmly supponed.

3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift

points for solid contact with the lift blocks.

support points {B and C) as for a frame hoist. Always

use safety stands when working on or unoer any

vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

gearshift lever in reverse, or the automatic
