Lifting Instructions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, 2005 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Damage to the suspension or steering linkage system components can occur when positioning the hoist adapters. The front adapter pads should be positioned carefully to ensure maximum contact under the center of the lower suspension arms or spring supports as near the wheels as practical. The rear suspension hoist adapters (forks) should be placed under the spring mounting pads or the rear axle housing tubes, but the adapters must not interfere with the shock absorber mounting brackets or the stabilizer bar mounting brackets.

CAUTION: When raising a vehicle on a twin post hoist, care should be taken to position the vehicle so that the hoisting adapters (forks) do not damage the axle housing cover or contact the rear stabilizer bar or brackets.

CAUTION: For correct wrecker towing procedures, refer to Vehicle Owner Guide. Incorrect towing of a vehicle can result in transmission damage. Always follow the outlined towing procedures.

Refer to the hoist manufacturer's operating manual for correct lifting instructions.
