l
Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and
cause personal injury. Always use the
jack on a flat, hard surface. Before setting
the jack, make sure there are no sand or
pebbles under the jack base.
