Begin by setting parking brake on vehicle and blocking all

stable. Extend the post to height close to the support member.
Check the load locking and release handle to insure that the dog
portion has engaged a tooth on the post. Make sure both jack
stands are at an equal height and will support the load equally
when the lifting device is removed. Place jack stands carefully
under support points specified by vehicle manufacturer. Do not
crawl under vehicle when placing or removing stands! SLOWLY
lower the load onto the jack stands and check to insure the load
is located on the center portion of the post saddle. Check the
load for stability. If the load is NOT located on the center of
the post saddle, or if the load is not stable, re-lift the load and
reposition the jack stands to insure proper loading before
continuing with work or repairs. When removing stands,
carefully raise vehicle enough to clear the stands, making sure
the vehicle remains stable. Remove stands, being careful not to
crawl under vehicle while doing so. Carefully lower vehicle
to floor.
