HOISTING AND JACKING
Fig. 4 Hoisting/Jacking Locations
A vehicle can be lifted with:
• A single-post frame-contact hoist
• A twin-post, chassis hoist
• A ramp-type drive-on hoist
NOTE: When a frame-contact type hoist is
used, verify that the lifting pads are positioned
properly.
WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING
POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE
VEHICLE. WHEN A CHASSIS OR DRIVETRAIN
COMPONENT IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE,
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALTERED
MAKING SOME HOISTING CONDITIONS
UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR
SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DEVICE WHEN
THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift a vehicle with a
floor jack positioned under an axle tube, body
side panel or sill, or front control arm. When
properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to
lift a GEM vehicle. Support the vehicle in the
raised position with jack stands at the locations
indicated.
