Lifting Points - Lotus Evora Service Notes

Lotus Service Notes

LIFTING POINTS

When using a lifting jack or hoist, care must be taken to position the device only beneath the areas shown
in the illustration. Each designated point uses a ribbed alloy reinforcement pad integral with the main chassis
structure. Use a suitable rubber pad to provide additional protection from surface damage:
A; Identified by a blue sticker. Beneath the front ends of the chassis main siderails, just behind the rear edge
of the front undertray.
B; Identified by a blue sticker. Beneath each end of the fuel tank bay rear crossmember, just ahead of the
front edge of the engine bay undertray.
If using a single jack for wheel changing purposes, a single rear lifting point (B) may be used to raise both
wheels on that side of the car. With the limited vision available under these circumstances, extra care must be
taken to position the jack correctly.
Note that in order fully to exploit the benefits of light weight, and to maximise stowage space, the Evora
has no provision for spare wheel carriage or lifting jack. A temporary puncture recovery facility is provided in
the form of a tyre inflator aerosol stowed in the right hand side of the boot.
