Using a two-post hoist
|
If you see rust or signs of major repair, lifting the vehicle with a hoist may cause damage to the vehicle or may be dangerous to you.
|
Using a four-post hoist
|
The lifting capacity of the hoist you are using must be rated for a vehicle weight greater than that of the vehicle you are intending to lift.
|
Using an engine hoist
|
Make sure that the fasteners attaching the lifting chain, or sling, have a tensile strength that is in excess of the weight of the engine.
|
Using a floor jack
|
Do not jack or support a vehicle under any independent suspension components. They are not strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle.

Always light the oxyacetylene torch with the striker. A cigarette lighter or match would put your hand too close to the igniting tip.
