Lifting Vehicle With Hoist/Floor Jack




Lifting Vehicle with Hoist/Floor Jack

WARNING: When removing components such as rear axle, fuel tank, spare wheel and rear lid, place additional weight on rear end of car or anchor car to hoist to prevent tipping if center of gravity changes.

CAUTION:
- Before driving over lift check for clearance between lifting arms and tires to avoid cutting sidewalls.
- Extend arms and check to see if arms are long enough to contact lifting points.
- Lift only at points shown.

NOTE: When lifting vehicle with floor jack use same lifting points as with hoist.

CAUTION: Do not lift vehicle by engine, transmission, front or rear suspension. Doing so may result in damage to components.
