• Do
not attempt to lift a Vehicle in any way with less than all four Lift Arms.

engaged on a Safety Lock position.
• Never move under a raised Vehicle without first confirming that both Safety Locks are secured on a
locking position of the same height.

About Lifting Points, Lift Pad Adapters and Lift Pad Extensions
An important note to keep in mind when using the MaxJax is that the raised Vehicle must be balanced
on the four Lift Arms. If the Vehicle is not balanced, it is more likely to become unstable and slide off
the Lift, possibly damaging the Lift, the Vehicle, and anything under the Lift, including injuring people.
⚠ WARNING You
must
use all four Lift Arms when raising a Vehicle. Never use just one, two, or
three Lift Arms to raise a Vehicle. The Vehicle will be unstable and could slip off the
Lift, possibly damaging the Lift, damaging the Vehicle, and injuring anyone under it.
To balance a Vehicle on the MaxJax Lift, you need to have the Lift Pad Adapters contact the Vehicle
on the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points. By definition, when you raise a Vehicle by its Lifting
Points, the Vehicle is balanced.
NOTICE The manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points do not take into consideration any
major changes that might have been made to the Vehicle. If the motor is removed,
for instance, or there is a 5,000 pound / 2,268 kg weight in the trunk, the Vehicle’s
Lifting Points will not be the best balancing points.
Some Vehicles have indicators on the underside that identify the Lifting Points; many do not.
The best approach is to find the Vehicle’s recommended lifting points in the Vehicle Lifting Points for
Frame Engaging Lifts guide, which is provided with your Lift, or contact the manufacturer of the
Vehicle. This guide also includes safe lifting suggestions, which everyone who uses the Lift should
read.
Lifting it Right: A Safety Manual from the Automotive Lift Institute, also provided with your Lift, includes
a wide variety of information about Lifts and how to use them safely.
The Lift Pad Adapters and Lift Pad Extensions (also called height adapters) supplied with every MaxJax
Lift include:
• Four Round Lift Pad Adapters (5215507).
