Positioning the Vehicle
For longer wheel base vehicles, position the vehicle on the
forward spotting dish. For shorter wheel bases, position the
vehicle on the rear spotting dish. Due to varying centers of
gravity within different vehicle classes, use the dishes as guides
only and locate the arms beneath the vehicle pickup points.
Always position vehicle with its center of gravity in line with the
lift columns. Slightly raise the vehicle and check for stability.
Do this by pushing up and down on the front and rear bumpers.
The vehicle should sit firmly on all pickup points. If necessary,
relocate arms and/or vehicle to attain a stable condition.
