LIFTING
VEHICLE
The vehicle should
never
be lifted or
jacked
up from underneath the engine
oil
pan, the transmission housing, or the
front
or rear axle.
This
could lead to serious damage.
The same lifting points as illustrated for the hoist also apply when using a floor jack. To
avoid damage to the underbody or chassis
frame,
it is necessary to insert a rubber pad between the floor jack and the lift
points.

sure there is sufficient clearance
between pads and vehicle before driving
vehicle on to hoist.

fuel
tank, wheels,
front

sponding weights to maintain the cen
ter of

might tilt or slip off the hoist, causing
serious damage or personal
injury.

nal
injury

ted.

from a lift when, for example,
heavy
components such as the engine block
or transmission are removed result
ing
in a change in vehicle weight and
balance.
