jacking points JAGUAR XFR 2010 1.G Workshop Manual

Do not empty fuel while working in a workshop or a pit
Ensure that working area is well ventilated
Ensure that any work on the fuel system is only carried out by experienced and well qualified maintenance personnel
Ensure that fume extraction equipment is used where appropriate


Fume extraction equipment must be in operation when solvents are used e.g. Trichloroethane, white spirit, sbp3,
methylene chloride, perchlorethylene. Do not smoke in the vicinity of volatile degreasing agents.

Whenever possible, use a ramp or pit whilst working beneath a vehicle, in preference to jacking. Position chocks at the wheels
as well as applying the parking brake. Never rely on a jack alone to support a vehicle. Use axle stands, or blocks carefully
placed at the jacking points, to provide a rigid location. Check that any lifting equipment used has adequate capacity and is
fully serviceable. Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is conveniently located. When using electrical tools and
equipment, inspect the power lead for damage and check that it is properly earthed. Disconnect the earth (grounded) terminal
of the vehicle battery. Do not disconnect any pipes of the air conditioning refrigeration system unless you are trained and
instructed to do so. A refrigerant is used which can cause blindness if allowed to come into contact with the eyes. Ensure that
adequate ventilation is provided when volatile degreasing agents are being used.

Adhere strictly to handling and safety instructions given on containers and labels. Keep oils and solvents away from naked
flames and other sources of ignition. Do not apply heat in an attempt to free seized nuts or fittings; as well as causing
damage to protective coatings, there is a risk of damage from stray heat to electronic equipment and brake lines. Do not leave
tools, equipment, spilt oil etc. around the work area. Wear protective overalls and use barrier cream when necessary.

Environmental Protection

In some countries it is illegal to pour used oil onto the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water courses. The burning of
used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers is not recommended unless emission control equipment is installed. Dispose
of used oil through authorized waste disposal contractors, to licensed waste disposal sites or to the waste oil reclamation
trade. If in doubt, contact the Local Authority for advice on disposal facilities.

Jacking and Lifting - Lifting
Description and Operation

Lifting Points—Twin-Post Hoist and Floor Jack

CAUTIONS: Published: 11-May-2011

Do not allow the hoist adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, stabilizer bar, rear subframe stabilizer
brackets or to compress the lower suspension arm stabilizer bar insulator. Damage to the suspension, exhaust and steering
linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters of two-post hoists prior to lifting
the vehicle.


Never use the differential housing as a lift point. Damage to the differential housing and cover may occur.
When using a floor jack, a cushioned pad must be utilized to avoid body damage.
