HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
Damage to steering linkage compo-
nents and front suspension struts may
occur if care is not exercised when
positioning the hoist adapters of 2
post hoists prior to lifting the vehicle.
If a 2 post hoist is used to lift the
vehicle, place the adapters under the
lower arms or the No.
I
crossmemb-
er. Do not allow the adapters to con-
tact steering linkage. If the adapters
are placed under the crossmember, a
piece of wood
(2x4~16 inches) should
be placed on the hoist channel be-
tween the' adapters. This will prevent
the adapters
from damaging the front
suspension struts.
