holes in the column are facing the locking pin attachment
location.
2. Most pin type jack stands are designed with a support col­
umn that can always be removed from the stand; therefore
do not attempt to move or lift the stand by pulling up on
the column or its saddle.
3. Some stands are equipped with a storage holder for the
locking pin. Locking pins connected to the stand by way of
a tether or lanyard should not be stored in the stand's sup­
port column receiver hole.

OperAting instructiOns
1. Make sure the work floor is clean and free of debris and
obstacles.
2. Chock the vehicle's tires that will not be lifted. Make sure
the emergency brake is on and the vehicle's transmission
is either in the park mode or gear if a manual transmis­
sion.
3. Raise the vehicle to a safe working height and make sure
the jack and vehicle setup are stable before positioning
the jack stands.
4. Position the jack stands right below the areas of the ve­
hicle to be supported.
5. Lift the support columns as close to the vehicle as possi­
ble without the saddles on the columns coming in contact
with the vehicle. Make sure the stands' locking pin is fully
engaging the stand on both sides. Never use the stand's
lower support plate as a load bearing surface for the lock­
ing pin.
6. Slowly and carefully lower the vehicle on the jack stands.
Shock loads or loads dropped abruptly on stands can
cause premature metal fatigue or even stand failure
depending on the weight of the vehicle and the speed of
descent that impacts the stands' support columns.
7. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough
off the stands where the stands can be easily removed.
