2 - REMOVING AND REFITTING HEAVY
COMPONENTS
WARNING: always use a safety harness if using a
two-post lift to remove heavy components.
For your safety, take care to ensure that the vehicle is
balanced when placed on a two-post lift.
This is because removing heavy components (such as
the engine and transmission assembly, rear axle or
fuel tank, etc.), depending on:
– the vehicle load,
– its length,
– the position of the lifting pads,
may cause the vehicle to become unbalanced.
It is therefore essential to put a strap around or inside
the bodywork and fix it to the arms of the lift between
the pads.
LIFTING
Underbody lifts
TOOLING REQUIRED
Straps:
– 10 metres long,
– 25 mm wide.
Straps are available from SODICAM under Part No.:
77 11 172 554.
This type of strap should only be used to immobilise a
vehicle on a two-post lift (for safety reasons, they
should not be used for any other purpose).
Use straps that are in good condition and clean (so as
not to dirty the interior or the bodywork). Avoid
damaging the vehicle by pulling the strap too tight (the
sill panels can be protected at the point where the
strap passes over them).
