VEHICLE LlFT (2-SUPPORT TYPE) POSITIONS
VEHICLE LlFT (2-SUPPORT TYPE)
POSITIONS
Damage to the suspension and/or steering linkage com-
ponents may occur when positioning the hoist adapter
pads. The front adapter pads should be positioned care-
fully to ensure maximum contact under the frame. Rear
adapter pads should be placed under the spring shackle,
but the adapters must not interfere with the shock ab-
sorber brackets or the stabilizer bar brackets.
When raising a vehicle on a 2-support type lift, care
should be taken to position the vehicle so that the adapter
pads do not damage the axle carrier casting or contact
the stabilizer bar and/or brackets.
Caution
Always place a wood block between the frame, the
lift point and the adapter pads to prevent lower
body damage.
On vehicles equipped with an under-chassis
mounted spare tire, remove the tire, wheel or tire
carrier from the vehicle before
iit
is placed in a high
lift position. These components must be removed,
in order to avoid sudden weight release from the
chassis.
