Workshop hoist
Before driving the car over the vehi-
cle lift, check that there is sufficient clear-
ance between the platform and the low
parts on underside of the vehicle.
Trolley jack
To avoid damage to the underside of the
car a suitable rubber spacer must be
inserted before lifting it with a trolley
jack.
Under no circumstances must the car
be lifted up by the oil sump, gearbox
or rear axle or side members, since
this can cause very serious damage.
Warning
•
Never start the engine or engage
a gear with the car lifted as long as
one of the driving wheels is touch-
ing the ground-danger of acci-
dent.
If work is carried out underneath
the vehicle, safety should be
assured by setting suitable sup-
port trusses under the car.
Take special care not to cause
damage with the arms of the work-
shop hoist, flanges, etc.
Lift points for workshop hoist or
trolley jack
The car may only be lifted at the special
lift points, as shown in the figures.
In vehicles with moulding or plastic heel-
ing an additional piece must be placed on
the legs of the lift, to avoid damaging it.
The extra piece should be made of a hard
material (such as rubber) and should
have dimensions approximately as fol-
lows:
– Diameter: 65 mm.
– Height: 30 mm.
Front
The front lift point is the lift element
welded to the plate of the floor.
