Risk of injury

The jack is designed only to raise and hold the vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being changed.

You must use axle stands if you are carrying out work on the vehicle.

Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm, non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not be able to achieve its load-bearing capacity due to the restricted height.

Do not start the engine at any time while a wheel is being changed.


When using the jack, you should also observe the safety notes in the "Flat tyre" section more.
