Body Prop
Description:
A Body Prop is a safety device that is provided to ensure the safety of
personnel carrying out routine checks and maintenance of components and
structures underneath the body.
Location:
The Body Prop is an integral part of the subframe and is stowed on the
outside of the offside subframe.
Purpose:
To provide a safe means to mechanically support the body in a raised position.
Use:
Whenever there is a requirement to work or stand underneath the body.
Never Stand or Work underneath an unpropped body.
After propping, remove keys from ignition and lock vehicle doors.
Do not leave the vehicle with the body raised and propped for any
length of time. The protective oil film on the ram will evaporate, drain
away or be washed away. Corrosive elements may erode the highly
finished surface of the ram, which in turn could lead to damage of the
ram seals, resulting in potential oil leaks.
