of the vehicls. the center of gravity may change and can cause the vehicle to tip tolward on the hoisi
NOTE:
. Since each tire/wheel assembly weighs approximately 30 lbs (14 kg)' placing the front wheels in the luggage area can
assist with the weight distribution
. Use the same support points to suppon the vehicle on safety stands'
Place the lift blocks as shown.
Raise the hoist a lew inches (centrmeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported'
Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect lift points for solid support
