Jacking points for raising vehicle
Always use the jacking points indicated in the figures fig. 167 and
fig. 168 when raising the vehicle. If the vehicle is not lifted at these points,
it could be seriously damaged or lead to serious injury .
The vehicle should not be lifted using lifting platforms with lift pads
containing fluid.
When raising a vehicle using a platform or jack, a series of precautionary
measures are required. Never raise the vehicle with a lifting platform or jack
unless you have received training in how to do so and know how to lift the
vehicle safely.
Notes on raising the vehicle with a jack page 342.
WARNING
The improper use of the lifting platform or the jack when raising the vehicle
may result in accidents or serious injury.
x Before raising the vehicle, please observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for the platform or jack, and the legal requirements, where appli-
cable.
x There should not be anyone inside the vehicle when it is being raised or
once it is in the air.
x Only use the jacking points indicated in the figures fig. 167 and
fig. 168 when raising the vehicle. If the vehicle is not lifted at the indi-
cated points, it may fall from the platform while the engine or gearbox is
being dismounted, for example.
x The jacking points should be centrally aligned and firmly positioned on
the platform support plates.
x Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised! The vehicle may fall
from the platform due to the engine vibrations.
x If it is necessary to work underneath the vehicle while it is raised, you
should check that the supporting stands have an adequate load capacity.
x Never climb onto the lifting platform.
x Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle does not exceed the
lifting platform load capacity.
