WARNING & SAFETY INFORMATION!
- Jack stands that are used on a sloping surface can easily slip to the side or kink.
- The strength of the jack stands is greatly reduced if loads are not centred or if
sideways forces are applied to them.
- Always ensure that jack stands are in perfect condition (no cracked welds, no
loose, missing or damaged components). If it is suspected that they have been
subjected to an excessive load or an impact, immediately discontinue use and
remove from service.
- It is advisable to inspect jack stands before use to ensure that they have not
deteriorated (no corrosion, cracking, or deformation).
- Use only as specified by the manufacturer.
- Use no more than a single pair of stands.
- Use the jack stands only on a hard level surface.
- Securely chock the wheels that are still in contact with the ground.
- Make sure that each stand is securely located under a strong point of the
vehicle. Consult the vehicle manufacturer’s handbook for guidance.
- Exercise extra care when using a three wheeled vehicle or trailer.
- Upper and lower part of the jack stands must not be separated.
- DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LOAD.
- Never use on sloping, inclined, uneven ground or on a soft surface.
- When supporting a vehicle, place jack stands only at support points specified
by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Ensure that the load and the jack stands are stable before working under the
vehicle.
- Centre the load on the saddle of the jack stand.
- Never use an additional support.
- Do not modify the jack stands in any way.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any injury or damage resulting from a
failure to comply with these warnings.
