2. Raise the hoist a few inches, and rock the vehicle

gently to be sure it is firmly supported.

3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift

points for solid contact with the lift blocks.

Safety Stands

To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same

support points (B and e) as for a frame hoist. Always
use safety stands when working on or under any
vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

There are three popular methods oftowing a vehicle.

Automatic Transmission

It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles (80

B km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).

INOTICEI
• Improper towing preparation will damage the
transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If
you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine
(automatic transmission), the vehicle must be
transported on a flat-bed.
• Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not
designed to support the vehicle's weight.

Wheel Lift Equipment- The tow truck uses two

pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and
lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain
on the ground.

Sling-type Equipment- The tow truck uses metal

cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension and the cables lift that
end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's
suspension and body can be seriously damaged. This
method of towing is unacceptable.

Parts Marking

To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are marked with the vehicle identification number (VIN). Original parts
have self-adhesive labels. Replacement body parts have generic self-adhesive labels. The original engine or transmission
VIN plate is transferred to a replacement engine or transmission and attached with break-off bolts.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the parts marking labels during body repair. Mask the labels before repairing the part.
