Operational Warnings
Warning!! Only operate the Jack Stands on a level, flat, hard surface capable of supporting the
weight of the Jack Stands and the object to be supported. Use of an uneven or weak
surface can cause damage to the floor, or cause the supported object to become unstable
and potentially fall, causing serious damage or injury.
Warning!! Consult the instruction manual for the object to be supported, to determine the advised
support points. Only use the advised support points when using these Jack Stands. Sup-
porting in other areas can cause damage to the supported object and cause the object to
fall.
Warning!! Never work under the supported object unless the Jack Stands are supporting the object
securely.
Warning!! If the object supported has wheels, the wheels remaining on the ground should be blocked.
Warning!! When raising or lowering the object, make sure no people are in the immediate area.
Warning!! Never exceed the Jack Stands’ maximum capacity of 110 Lbs. (evenly distributed over 2
Jack Stands).
Operation
Supporting an Object.
Note: When placing and removing the Jack Stands be careful to keep your body and any other
objects out from under any part of the object.
1. After the object is lifted by a proper lifting device such as a jack (not included), carefully position
one Jack Stand so that the saddle on top of the Ratchet Bar (2) is at one of the recommended
supporting points. Lift the Ratchet Bar (2) until the saddle is as close as possible to the supporting
point. Verify that the Handle (6) drops into place and the Stopper (3) rests in one of the grooves in
the Ratchet Bar (2).
2. Repeat for the other Stand, being certain that the Jack Stands are spaced far enough apart for the
object to be stable and the weight distributed evenly. If the object cannot be supported properly
under just two Stands, additional stands or a different type of supporting device will be necessary.
3. Once the object is safely positioned over the Jack Stands, use the jack or other lifting device to
slowly lower the object onto the stands. Before putting any body part, or any other object under
the supported item, or removing the lifting device, verify that the object is secure on the
stands. When you are satisfied that the object is safely supported by the Jack Stands, carefully
remove the lifting device.
Removing Supports.
1. First, clear any tools or equipment from under the supported object. Make sure there are no
obstructions and that people are at a safe distance from the supported object.
Note: Position yourself safely so that you are not under any part of the supported object before
removing the Jack Stands.
2. Lift the object slightly off the stands using a jack or other lifting device. Lift the Handle (6) on the
first stand. The Ratchet Bar (2) will lower, allowing you to remove the Stand. Remove the first
Stand. Repeat for the second.
3. Use the jack, or other lifting device to carefully lower the object to the ground.
NOTE: FOR LIMITED SUPPORT ONLY.
These Jack Stands are designed primarily as a display item. However,
the Jack Stands do also have limited functional use. If using them to
support an object, the user must adhere to all safety warnings and
precautions shown in this instruction manual.
