Lift And Support Points - Honda CSX 06 Manual

Lift and Support Points

NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components
such as suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the
vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall
safety stands. When substantial weight is removed
from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can
change, causing the vehicle to tip forward on the lift.
Vehicle Lift
1. Position the lift blocks (A) under the vehicle's front
support points (B) and rear support points (C).

2. Raise the lift a few inches, and rock the vehicle
gently to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the lift to its full height, and inspect the
vehicle support points for solid contact with the lift
blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same
support points as for a vehicle lift. Always use safety
stands when working on or under any vehicle that is
supported only by a jack.
