0-30 General Information
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, always use
jack stands when you are working on or under
any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
Caution: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious
personal injury or death when major components
are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle
is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with
jack stands at the opposite end from which
the components are being removed.
Notice: When you are jacking or lifting a vehicle at
the frame side rails or other prescribed lift points,
be certain that the lift pads do not contact the catalytic
converter, the brake pipes or the fuel lines. If such
contact occurs, vehicle damage or unsatisfactory
vehicle performance may result.
For lifting the vehicle, various lift points are
recommended. Before you begin any lifting procedure,
be sure the vehicle is on a clean, hard, level surface. Be
sure all the lifting equipment meets weight standards
and is in good working order. Be sure all the vehicle
loads are equally distributed and secure. If you are only
supporting the vehicle at the frame side rails, make sure
the lifting equipment does not put too much stress on,
or weaken, the frame side rails.
If you use any other hoisting methods than those
called out, take special care not to damage the fuel
tanks, the exhaust system or the underbody.
