WARNING
A raised and badly supported machine can fall on you
causing severe injury or death. Position the machine on a
firm, level surface before raising one end. Ensure that the
other end is securely chocked. Do not rely solely on the
machine’s hydraulics or jacks to support the machine
when working under it.
Disconnect the battery cables while you’re under the
machine to prevent the engine from being started.
