Precautions for Operation |
|
|
|
Do not use a floor jack on sloped or weak ground as this may result in the vehicle falling. | |
|
|
If a vehicle has an excessive weight imbalance due to cargo on board, do not use a floor jack. | |
|
|
Always set wheel chocks on both sides of the wheels not being raised. | |
|
|
After the vehicle is jacked up, always use jack stands to hold the vehicle in place. | |
|
|
Never crawl under the vehicle while the vehicle is raised using a jack alone, even for a short time. If the vehicle falls, it may result in serious injury or death. | | |
|
|
|
Set the lift arms and pads securely at the specified lift points. If the lift blocks are positioned at places other than those specified, the vehicle may be damaged or fall off of the lift. | |
|
|
If major assemblies are being removed, always put an equivalent weight at the opposite end of the vehicle to maintain the weight balance. | |
|
|
Never lift only one side of a vehicle using a lift. | |
|
|
When lifting a vehicle, always watch the vehicle’s condition and confirm that no unsafe conditions exist. | |
|
|
Stop lifting the vehicle only when all four wheels are suspended off the ground and confirm that the vehicle is securely positioned before continuing. | |
|
|
Never go under the vehicle while the lift is operating. | |
|
|
After the vehicle is raised to your working level, make sure the all of lift’s safety catches engage and hold the vehicle securely. | | |
|
Frame & Body Straightening:
|
|
|
Check the condition of the clamps and chains before using the equipment. Do not use deformed or cracked clamps or chains. | |
|
|
Use appropriate capacity clamps and chains. Using inadequate clamps or chains may result in violent failures. | |
|
|
If straightening equipment is being used for rough frame correction, do not enter the chain’s pulling direction. Always stand in a safe place. | |
|
|
Always use safety wires on chains and clamps to reduce the chance of injury or vehicle damage if a chain fails. | | |
|
|
|
Remove the fuel tank if welding near the tank or combustible materials located in close proximity to the fuel tank. | |
|
|
Protect the vehicle with a welding blanket. | | |
|
Do not put inflammable things near the painting booth or dryer.
