2. Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

General Safety Precautions:

• Always read and understand the instruction manual for your floor jack before use.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, stable, and level surface before attempting to lift.
• Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always use appropriate jack stands to support the vehicle after lifting.
• Verify that the jack pad is correctly seated on the floor jack's saddle and aligned with the vehicle's designated lifting point (pinch weld or frame rail).
• Do not exceed the weight capacity of your floor jack or the jack pad.
• Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts during lifting and lowering operations.
• Inspect the jack pad for wear, cracks, or damage before each use. Replace if any damage is observed.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area.

5. Operating Instructions

Using the Torin BIG RED AT825010-9B Floor Jack Rubber Pad correctly is crucial for protecting your vehicle.

1. Position the Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Engage the parking brake and, if applicable, place the transmission in 'Park' (automatic) or 'Reverse' (manual). Block the wheels that will remain on the ground.
2. Place the Jack Pad: Carefully place the Torin BIG RED AT825010-9B rubber pad onto the saddle of your floor jack. Ensure it is centered and stable.
3. Locate Lifting Point: Identify the vehicle's manufacturer-recommended lifting point, typically a pinch weld or a reinforced frame rail. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for precise locations.
4. Position the Jack: Roll the floor jack with the rubber pad underneath the designated lifting point. Align the slot in the rubber pad with the vehicle's pinch weld or ensure the pad is squarely under the frame rail.
5. Lift the Vehicle: Slowly and steadily raise the floor jack, ensuring the jack pad maintains proper contact with both the jack saddle and the vehicle's lifting point. Observe for any slippage or misalignment.
6. Install Jack Stands: Once the vehicle is at the desired height, immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's designated support points. Lower the vehicle slowly until it rests securely on the jack stands.
7. Remove Jack: Once the vehicle is safely supported by jack stands, lower the floor jack completely and remove it from under the vehicle.
