Lifting and Jacking

Lifting and Jacking
Safety
•Recommended procedures for lifting, jacking and
towing must be strictly ob served to ensure personal
safety.
• Always use a vehicle hoist, ramp or pit for working
beneath the vehicle in preference to jacking.
• Never rely on a jack to supp ort a car independently, use
axle stands or blocks carefu lly placed at jacking points
to provide rigid support.
• When working beneath a vehicle, chock wheels as well
as applying handbrake.
• Ensure vehicle is standing on firm, level ground before
jacking or lifting.
• Check lifting equipment has adequate capacity for load
being lifted and is in full working order.
Jacking Points
This vehicle jacking points are at positions shown.
May also be jacked on the front subframe front crossmember
Always use a jack with a rubber contact pad. Avoid use of
jacks with sharp contact pads which would damage floor
pan Always chock the opposite road wheels as well as
applying the handbrake when using a hydraulic jack.
To prevent body distortion, av oid single point or one side
jacking with the tunnel shear panel removed.
Lifting
Workshop Hoist
Use of a workshop hoist is recommended for all operations
where vehicles must be raised. Follow manufacturers
instructions. If using an adjustable arm type, ensure lifting
pads are correctly positioned at the four jacking points
before lifting.
Workshop Jack
To avoid any danger of bodywork damage when using a
hydraulic jack, the vehicle must only be lifted at the jacking
points.
Stands
When carrying out work (other than a wheel change) which
requires a wheel to be raised, a stand must be used, located
at the jacking point, to provide a secure support for the
vehicle.
