DAMAGE TO JACK STANDS

If you think jack stand has been subjected to an abnormal load or shock, have it inspected for damage at a Sears Service Center before using it again.

OPERATION

• To support load

• Adjust height by pulling up on ratchet bar.

• The weight of the locking handle should secure the ratchet bar in desired position.

To confirm this, simply push down on the locking handle. Check to ensure ratchet bar is secure before loading.

• Carefully position stands so that load is centered on stand’s saddle.

• Slowly lower the vehicle onto the stands.

• Check to ensure vehicle is secure before working on, around or under. When used to support vehicle, use wheel chocks to prevent accidental movement.

• To lower load

• With suitable jack, raise vehicle clear of stands.

• Raise the locking handle to release stopper and allow ratchet bar to glide down to lowest position.

• Carefully remove stands, then carefully lower vehicle with jack.

• Ensure that all tools, equipment and personnel are clear before lowering load.

MAINTENANCE

To help prevent rust, wipe clean and/or blow dry after each use. Ensure locking handle moves freely under its own weight. Do not apply oil or lubricant to ANY portion of this product.
