Puncture Set - Skoda Roomster Owner's Manual

›
Continue turning up the jack until the wheel is just about lifted off the
ground.
WARNING
Notes for vehicle lifting
Choose a flat and firm surface for jacking the vehicle.
■
If the wheel has to be changed on a slope, first of all block the opposite
■
wheel with a stone or similar object to prevent the vehicle from unexpect-
edly rolling away.
Secure the base plate of the lifting jack with suitable means to prevent
■
possible moving. A soft and slippery ground under the base plate may move
the lifting jack, causing the vehicle to fall down. It is therefore always nec-
essary to place the lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable
base. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth,
such as cobbled stones, tiled floor, etc.
Only attach the lifting jack to the attachment points provided for this pur-
■
pose.
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
■
Never position any body parts, such as arms or legs under the vehicle,
■
while the vehicle is raised with a lifting jack.
When the vehicle is raised, never start the engine.
■
CAUTION
It is important to ensure that the jack is correctly attached to the web of the
lower fork leg, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle occurring.
