About Lifting Points, Adapters, and Auxiliary Adapters
An important point to keep in mind when using a frame-engaging Lift is that the raised Vehicle must be
balanced on the four Lift Arms. If the Vehicle is not balanced, it is more likely to become unstable and
slide off the Lift, possibly damaging the Lift, the Vehicle, and anything under the Lift, including injuring
people.
⚠ WARNING You must use all four Lift Arms when raising a Vehicle. Never use just one, two, or
three Lift Arms to raise a Vehicle. The Vehicle will be unstable and could slip off the
Lift, possibly damaging the Lift, damaging the Vehicle, and injuring anyone under it.
To balance a Vehicle on a frame-engaging Lift, you need to have the Lift Pads (Adapters) contact the
Vehicle on the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points. When you raise a Vehicle by its Lifting
Points, the Vehicle is balanced.
NOTICE The manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points do not take into consideration any
major changes that might have been made to the Vehicle. If the motor is removed,
for instance, or there is a 5,000 pound / 2,268 kg weight in the trunk, the Vehicle’s
Lifting Points will not be the best balancing points.
Some Vehicles have indicators on the underside that identify the manufacturer’s Lifting Points; many
do not.
Your best approach is to find the Vehicle in the guide provided with your Lift. Vehicle Lifting Points for
Frame Engaging Lifts or contact the manufacturer of the Vehicle. This guide also includes a page of
safe lifting suggestions, which everyone who uses the Lift should read.
Lifting it Right: A Safety Manual from the Automotive Lift Institute, also provided with your Lift, includes
a wide variety of information about Lifts and how to use them safely.
⚠ DANGER Never place Contact Pads on non-approved, non-load holding Sill Covers or
Side Skirts!
