Raising a vehicle
• park the vehicle on a hard level surface.
• no person shall remain in a vehicle that is being lifted.
• consult the vehicle owner's manual to locate the lifting point to position
the jack under the vehicle. If the incorrect lifting point is used, the jack
could slip or tip.

lowered.
Using jacks – general safety instructions
• before each use, check the jack for leaks, cracked welds and for dam-
aged, loose or missing parts; if any defects are found, do not use until
repaired.
• Do not exceed the working load limit / rated capacity of the jack.
• only use jacks on hard level surfaces (e.g. concrete).
• never lift people.
• only use jacks for lifting and lowering. Immediately after lifting, support
the raised vehicle on vehicle support stands.
• Do not get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. never place
any part of the body under a raised vehicle until it is sitting on support
stands or vehicle ramps.
• Do not move or dolly a vehicle which is on a jack.
• only use attachments and / or adaptors supplied by the manufacturer
of the jack.
• operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to
manoeuvre the jack and apply the necessary pumping forces.
Caravan and trailer jacks– additional safety instructions
• use only with the correct engagement fitting.
• before raising a caravan or trailer, chock the unlifted wheels.
• no person should remain in a caravan or trailer that is being lifted.
• the caravan or trailer should remain attached to the towing vehicle.

• transmission jacks must only be used for removing, installing, or trans-
porting in the lowered position, vehicle transmissions, transfer cases or
transaxles.
Vehicle support stands – safety instructions
• Do not exceed the working load limit / rated capacity of the vehicle
support stand.
• only use on hard level surfaces (e.g. concrete)
• use in matched pairs at one end of a vehicle only.
• ensure that the locking pin or mechanism is fully engaged.
• Do not extend the height of the stand beyond its maximum working
height.
• Do not use stands to simultaneously support both ends or one side of a
vehicle.
• locate the stands under a solid portion of the vehicle; consult the
vehicle owner's manual for guidance.
