Note. Always follow hoist manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT allow hoist or adapters to contact suspension, exhaust or steering components. Frame contact must be made. Use adapters if necessary.
Hoist should contact lower control arms, or front crossmember and rear axle.
FRAME CONTACT HOIST
Hoist adapters must contact vehicle in specified areas. (Scheme 6) Adapters must be positioned to distribute load and support vehicle in a stable manner. DO NOT allow lift pads to contact exhaust system components.
