Lifting, Jacking and Support Points
LIFTING, JACKING AND SUPPORT POINTSCAUTION: TO HELP AVOID PERSONAL INJURY WHEN A VEHICLE IS ON A HOIST, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR VEHICLE AT THE OPPOSITE END FROM WHICH COMPONENTS ARE BEING REMOVED. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF VEHICLE FALLING OFF HOIST.
CAUTION: TO HELP AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS WHEN WORKING ON OR UNDER ANY VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPORTED ONLY BY A JACK.
The center of gravity on a front-wheel drive vehicle is further forward than on rear-wheel drive vehicles. Therefore, whenever removing major components from the rear of a front-wheel drive vehicle, while supported on a hoist, it is mandatory to support the vehicle in a manner to prevent the possibility of vehicle tipping forward.
NOTICE: When lifting with a frame contact hoist, lift the vehicle on the rocker pinch welds directly behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires.
When lifting with a suspension contact hoist, position the front structure under the front lower control arms. Position rear structure under rear control arms.
If required, you can lift at the front of the vehicle on the cradle. However, to protect the ELPO finish on the cradle, it is recommended that when lifting on the cradle, a protective pad be inserted between the hoist lifting points and the cradle.
