Aerostar
Vehicle may be raised on single or twin-post swiveling arm, or ramp-type drive hoists. If using single post hoist, ensure that lifting arms, pads or ramps are positioned at the proper lifting points and that adequate underbody clearance is maintained. To assure underbody clearance, place wooden blocks between lifting pads and frame at lift points. (Scheme 10)
If vehicle is to be raised on a twin-post hoist use caution not to damage suspension, rear axle cover and/or steering linkage components when positioning hoist adapters. The front end adapters should be positioned carefully to ensure maximum contact under the center of the lower suspension arms or spring supports as near the wheels as possible.
Rear suspension hoist adapters (forks), should be placed under the rear axle tubes. These adapters must not interfere with the lower control arm mounting brackets or hydraulic brake tubes. Do not allow hoisting forks to contact the axle carrier casting rear cover or the front stabilizer bar or brackets as damage may occur.
