CONSEQUENCES OF NOT AVOIDING HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
Failure to read this manual completely and thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY
WARNINGS, MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS and comply with them, and failure to comply with the METHODS TO AVOID
HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS could cause accidents resulting in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
1. Install the support column in the stand where the locking holes in the column are facing toward the stand's locking
pin attachment location.
2. Most pin type jack stands are designed with a support column that can always be removed from the stand; therefore
do not attempt to move or lift the stand by pulling up on the column or its saddle.
3. Some stands are equipped with a storage holder for the locking pin. Locking pins connected to the stand by way of a
tether or lanyard should not be stored in the stand's support column receiver hole.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
1. Make sure the work floor is clean and free of debris and obstacles.
2. Chock the vehicle's tires that will not be lifted. Make sure the emergency brake is on and the vehicle's transmission is
either in the park mode or gear if a manual transmission.
3. Raise the vehicle to a safe working height and make sure the jack and vehicle setup are stable before positioning the
jack stands. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR REMOVE STANDS.
4. Position the jack stands right below the areas of the vehicle support points as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
5. Lift the support columns as close to the vehicle as possible without the saddles on the columns coming in contact with
the vehicle. Make sure the jack stand's locking pin is fully engaging the stand on both sides. Never use the jack stand's
lower support plate as a load bearing surface for the locking pin.
6. Slowly and carefully lower the vehicle on the jack stands. Shock loads or loads dropped abruptly on jack stands can
cause premature metal fatigue or even jack stand failure depending on the weight of the vehicle and the speed of
descent that impacts the jack stands' support columns. The load should be supported in the center of the support
column saddles, not the locating lugs of the saddles. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR
REMOVE STANDS.
7 Check the load for stability. If the load is not stable, lift the load off the stands and correctly reposition the jack stands.
8. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough off the jack stands where the jack stands can be easily removed.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

WARNING
1. Always store the jacks stands in a well protected area where they will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive
vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The jack stands must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil,
grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. Every jack stand owner is responsible for keeping the stand labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash
external surfaces of the jack stand. Contact Matco for a replacement label if your stand's label is not readable.
3. Inspect the jack stands before each use. Do not use the jack stands if any component is cracked, broken or bent. Do not
use the jack stand if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action
before using the jack stand again. Premature wearing or damage to components caused by loose or missing hardware
is not eligible for warranty consideration.
