Lifting the Vehicle
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from a vehicle falling from a jack:
Always place chocks in front and behind the wheels not being raised.
Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level surface.
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported by a jack.
Use jack stands and test the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use extreme care since the vehicle is very unstable during the lifting process
When lifting the vehicle, position the jack and jack stands at the areas indicated.
Remove payload from vehicle before lifting. No one should be in or on the vehicle while lifting.
