Lifting (Armored Vehicles)

Lifting

WARNING: Make sure that any lifts that are used to raise the vehicle have sufficient capacity to support the additional weight of the armored vehicle.
The jacking and lifting points for the armored vehicle are the same as the standard vehicle.

Four Post Lift

Four Post Lift - Vehicle on Wheels
Position the vehicle on the lift with the front and rear of the vehicle equidistant away from the ends of the lift. Chock the wheels; select Park 'P' in the transmission and where practicable, apply the parking brake.

WARNING: Do not push the vehicle backwards and forwards along the lift.


Four Post Lift - Wheel Free

WARNING: The armored vehicle cannot be supported safely using the wheel-free facility of a four-post lift. Therefore, under no circumstances must this method be used.


Two Post Lift

CAUTION: If the drive shaft(s) are to be removed, release the parking brake and select Neutral 'N' in the transmission in order that the shaft(s) can be rotated when the vehicle is raised to the desired height.

Vehicle lifting points




- Position the vehicle with the centre of the lift pillars aligned approximately with the front of the driver and front passenger seat cushions.
- Extend the lifting arms and position the pad of each lifting arm beneath the body-frame longitudinal lifting points (arrowed above).
- Raise the vehicle until the wheels are just clear of the ground and check that the pads of each lifting arm are still correctly positioned.
- Raise the vehicle to the desired height.
- Ensure that the vehicle is correctly supported on all four lifting pads; that the pads are still correctly positioned and are in full contact with the body-frame longitudinal lifting points.

WARNING: Ensure that the vehicle is stable before commencing work.


Vehicle Weight
The weight of the vehicle is greater than the standard vehicle. Always make sure that any jacks or lifts are capable of supporting the additional loads.
