1. Use jack stands in pairs to support the vehicle.
a. Both jack stands must support the same point on either
side of the vehicle.
b. Both jack stand saddles must be at the same height when
the vehicle is lowered onto the jack stands.
CAUTION! The jack stand's legs may damage the floor surface when
holding a vehicle. Place a 1/4 in. sheet of plywood or a rigid metal
sheet underneath the jack stand's legs to distribute the weight.
2. Place the jack stands under areas of solid metal:
a. Vehicle frame
b. Frame rails
• A frame rail prevents the vehicle's undercarriage from
colliding with road obstacles. A rail runs the length of the
vehicle on each side and may resemble a metal seam.
c. Wheel axle
d. Steel cross member
3. Once in position, raise the saddle until it just beneath the
vehicle's support point on the vehicle.
WARNING! Ensure the jack stand's saddle matches the shape of the
support points to permit a solid contact. A mismatch may cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack stand and cause serious injury or death.
a. Pull ratchet bar upward. The ratchet teeth will slide past
the pawl.
NOTE: The handle will rise and fall, as the ratchet bar is moving
upward.
b. When positioned below the support point, ensure the
handle is in the down position. If not, move the ratchet
bar up and down slightly until the handle settles. A click
can be heard when the pawl is in place.
c. Release the ratchet bar and push handle down to confirm
it is in place.
d. Repeat with the second jack stand and confirm it is at the
same height as the first (count visible ratchet bar teeth).
4. Lower floor jack slowly and allow the vehicle to settle on the
jack stands.
