it on properly weight-rated safety

stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.

vehicle to prevent it from slipping or

falling. When using ramps, be sure the

front wheels are centered squarely on

the topsides. When raising the front

of the vehicle, put the transmission in

park (automatic) or reverse (manual),

set the parking brake, and block the

rear wheels. When raising the back of

the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is on

level ground and the front wheels are

blocked securely.

performing the installation, as foreign
