4. OPERATION

Figure 1 Description: The diagram illustrates the main components of the axle stand: 1. Centre column, 2. Centre tube, 3. Locking pin.

1. Familiarise yourself with the product. Check that the stands are in good condition and that no damage has been sustained during transit. Insert the centre column (fig.1.1) into the centre tube (fig.1.2), adjust to the required height, and insert the locking pin (fig.1.3).
2. Ensure the maximum load does not exceed 6 tonnes per pair of axle stands (3 tonnes for each stand).
3. Refer to vehicle manufacturer's instructions for recommended support points. Check that these points are in good condition.
4. Ensure the vehicle brake is on (or in park mode) and wheels are chocked.
5. Adjust the height of the stand to correspond with the raised vehicle.
6. Check that the locking pin is correctly pushed all the way through the stand collar, centre column, and out of the other side. Insert the safety pin, then position the stands under the vehicle at points specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
7. Carefully and slowly lower the load onto the stands. Ensure the load-bearing points sit in the center of the stand saddle and check that the stands are stable and not leaning. Also, ensure that there are no objects or persons that could impede the safe lowering of the vehicle onto the stands.
8. To remove stands, jack the vehicle slightly so that the stand can be removed.
9. After use, hold the centre column (fig.1.1) firmly when removing the locking pin (fig.1.3). Failure to do so will allow the centre column to fall freely through the main centre tube, which could be dangerous.

WARNING! Ensure you follow all instructions carefully. Failure to note these warnings may cause damage, serious injury, or loss of life.

5. MAINTENANCE

1. Before each use, check to ensure stands and stand welds are not cracked, and that there are no missing and/or damaged parts.
2. WARNING! Any stand that appears to be damaged in any way must be removed from service immediately.
3. Ensure the locking pins are in good order and condition.
4. Due to the potential hazards associated with these stands, do not misuse, or make any modification to the stands or components.
