→ Lift vehicle only at the take-up points shown.

→ Make sure the screw connections for the diagonal braces are accessible.

→ When driving onto a lifting platform, ensure that there is sufficient distance between the lifting platform and the vehicle.

→ In order to avoid damage to the side members and side member panels, the mounting plates of the platform lift must be raised.

→ Under no circumstances should the vehicle be lifted by the engine, transmission or axles.

Align the support plate of the lifting platform so that it lines up with the illustrated jacking point -arrow-  . Repeat the procedure on the other side.
