Stabilising a vehicle that is lying on its roof
1. Place stabiliser strut 1 with the green strap at the back left-hand side of the vehicle. Extend the stabiliser
strut to its maximum length. Locate a firm point (in order of preference: (1) on the inside of the boot; (2)
in the window groove at the back of the vehicle, or (3) make an incision in the side of the vehicle with
the hook blade). Insert the hook.
2. Position stabiliser strut 2 with the yellow strap at the back right-hand side of the vehicle. Extend the
stabiliser strut to its maximum length. Locate a firm point (in order of preference: inside the boot, in
the window groove at the back of the vehicle, or make an incision in the side of the vehicle with the
hook blade). Insert the hook.
IMPORTANT POINT 1 & 2
Always fasten the hook to the bodywork of the vehicle, don't attach it to moving parts, e.g. wheels, suspension
or spring assembly. Place the red protective sleeve in front of any sharp objects. Using the ratchet, tighten the
strap fully.
3. Tension both sides again until the weight of the vehicle is resting on both stabiliser struts. Check that both
straps are taut.
IMPORTANT
Do not lift the vehicle.
4. DANGER
On a wet surface the vehicle may slide forwards during stabilisation and use of the system.
Place a wooden block at the front of the vehicle under the bonnet to prevent this from happening.
IMPORTANT
Check these blocks continuously during use of the system.
5. The vehicle is now stabilised.
Stabilising a lorry cab
NOTE
Before positioning the stabiliser struts, first decide where the working platform needs to be placed.
1. Place stabiliser strut 1 with the green strap on the left-hand side of the cab. Extend the stabiliser strut to its
maximum length. Locate an attachment point for the hook on the vehicle chassis (not the cab). Insert
the hook. Place the red protective sleeve in front of any sharp objects. Using the ratchet, tighten the
strap fully.
2. Position stabiliser strut 2 with the yellow strap on the right-hand side of the cab. Extend the stabiliser strut
to its maximum length. Locate an attachment point for the hook on the vehicle chassis (not the cab).
Insert the hook. Place the red protective sleeve in front of any sharp objects. Using the ratchet, tighten
the strap fully.
3. Position stabiliser strut 3 with the blue strap at the front of the cab. Extend the stabiliser strut to its
maximum length. Locate an attachment point for the hook on the vehicle chassis (not the cab). Insert the
hook. Place the red protective sleeve in front of any sharp objects. Using the ratchet, tighten the strap fully.
4. Tighten all straps until the cab is lifted out of its suspension slightly. The weight of the cab is now resting
on the stabiliser struts.
5. The vehicle is now stabilised.
