5. Instruccions de funcionament

Once the rubber pads are installed on your jack stands, operate your jack stands as you normally would, keeping the following in mind:

• Carefully position the jack stands with the installed rubber pads directly under the vehicle's designated frame or chassis support points. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for these locations.
• Slowly lower the vehicle onto the jack stands, ensuring the vehicle's weight is evenly distributed and the pads are making full contact with the support points.
• The rubber pads provide a non-slip surface and protect the vehicle's finish from scratches or damage that can occur with direct metal-on-metal contact.
• When finished, raise the vehicle with your floor jack, remove the jack stands, and then slowly lower the vehicle to the ground.
