Warning!
Before driving on to a hoist ensure there is
sufficient clearance between low lying vehicle
components and hoist.
Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it
must be ensured that the vehicle weight does
not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the
platform.
Vehicle may only be lifted at points indicated in
illustration in order to avoid damaging vehicle
floor pan and to prevent vehicle from tipping.
Never start engine and engage a gear with
vehicle lifted so long as even one wheel has
contact with the floor. There is a risk of an
accident if this is not observed!
If work is to be performed under vehicle it must
be supported by suitable stands.
