Lesson 1 – General Information
Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a
hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the
vehicle on an uneven or soft surface may result
in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or
jackstand..
When jacking or lifting the vehicle use a block
to all wheels remaining on the ground activate
the parking brake. These actions help prevent
unintended vehicle movement.
NOTICE:
The jack provided with the vehicle is intended
to be used in an emergency for changing a
deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle,
never use the jack to lift the vehicle for any
other purpose.
Place blocks underneath the lifting points if a
two-post hoist is used.
Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering
linkage components will occur if care is not
exercised when positioning the hoist adapters
prior to lifting the vehicle.
To prevent possible damage to the underbody,
do not drive the vehicle onto a four post hoist
without first checking for possible interference.
When raising a vehicle on a two-post hoist, use
care when positioning the vehicle so that the
hoist arms do not interfere with underbody
components.
