WARNING
The improper use of the lifting platform or
the jack when raising the vehicle may result
in accidents or serious injury.
●
Before raising the vehicle, please observe
the manufacturer's instructions for the plat-
form or jack, and the legal requirements,
where applicable.
●
There should not be anyone inside the ve-
hicle when it is being raised or once it is in
the air.
●
Only use the jacking points indicated in the
figures ››› Fig. 96 and ››› Fig. 97
when raising
the vehicle. If the vehicle is not lifted at the
indicated points, it may fall from the platform
while the engine or gearbox is being dis-
mounted, for example.
●
The jacking points should be centrally
aligned and firmly positioned on the platform
support plates.
●
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised! The vehicle may fall from the platform
due to the engine vibrations.
●
If it is necessary to work underneath the ve-
hicle while it is raised, you should check that
the supporting stands have an adequate load
capacity.
●
Never climb onto the lifting platform.
●
Always make sure that the weight of the ve-
hicle does not exceed the lifting platform
load capacity.
CAUTION
●
Never raise the vehicle at the engine oil
sump, the gearbox or the rear or front axles.
●
Always use an intermediate rubber support
to prevent damage to the vehicle underbody.
Check that the arms of the lifting platform are
able to move with obstruction.
●
The arms should not come into contact with
the side running boards or other parts of the
vehicle.
