MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
To elevate the FUV, use an automotive-quality floor jack
and jack stands on a firm, flat surface.
Do not attempt to elevate your FUV without proper
equipment or adequate experience. If you have any
questions regarding how to safely elevate your FUV,
contact Arcimoto technical support.
Being under an elevated vehicle is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could
be crushed.
Never put any part of your body under a vehicle that is
on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it
to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
Never start or run the FUV while it is elevated.
The vehicle should be jacked on a firm level surface only.
Avoid ice or slippery areas.
Never elevate the FUV when the charge cable is
connected, even if charging is not in progress.
Never elevate the FUV with passengers in the vehicle.
Equipment Requirements
l
Floor Jack: Elevating the FUV requires a full-size
(4-ton minimum), automotive-quality hydraulic
floor jack, with a saddle pad at least 4" wide.
Only a full-size (at least 4-ton) automotive floor jack
provides adequate lateral stability to keep the FUV safe
while elevated. Using less stable jacks can cause serious
damage, bodily injury, or death.
Do not use any jack provided with a car (or designed for
use on a car frame rail), bottle jacks, or scissor jacks to
elevate the FUV. Use of these types of jacks can
seriously damage the FUV or injure yourself.
l
Jack Stands: Elevating the FUV requires the use of
up to four automotive-quality jack stands.
