JACK STANDS

Jack stands are a crucial safety tool used to support a vehicle after it has been raised with a jack. They are not meant to lift the vehicle, but rather to provide stable support once it’s lifted. Using jack stands is essential whenever you need to work underneath your car, as relying solely on a jack is incredibly dangerous. Jacks can malfunction or lose pressure, potentially causing the vehicle to come crashing down. Jack stands provide a secure and stable way to hold the car’s weight, preventing serious injuries.

Here’s a breakdown of jack stands:

• Main Parts:

  • Base: A wide, sturdy base that provides stability.
  • Support Saddle: A notched area at the top that cradles the vehicle’s frame at designated jack points.
  • Locking Pin: A mechanism that locks the support saddle at different heights, adjusting the overall height of the jack stand.
  • Release Lever: A lever that disengages the locking pin, allowing the support saddle to be lowered

• How to Use Jack Stands:

1. Park your vehicle on a level, solid surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual to locate the designated jack points for lifting. These are typically reinforced areas of the frame that can safely handle the weight of the vehicle.
3. Use a hydraulic jack to raise the vehicle until the designated jack points are clear of the ground.
4. Position the jack stands under the designated jack points, ensuring the support saddles fit securely into the notches.
5. Raise the jack stands using the locking pin mechanism until they take the weight of the vehicle. Double-check that the locking pins are fully engaged.
6. Slowly lower the hydraulic jack until it is no longer touching the vehicle. The vehicle’s weight should now be fully supported by the jack stands.

• Safety Precautions:

  • Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always use jack stands for additional security.
  • Inspect the jack stands before each use to ensure they are in good condition and free of damage.
  • Make sure the jack stands are placed on a level, solid surface.
  • Use jack stands with a weight capacity greater than the weight of your vehicle.
  • Never exceed the maximum height limit of the jack stands.

Jack stands are a relatively inexpensive safety tool that can prevent serious injuries or even death when working underneath your vehicle. By following proper safety precautions and using jack stands correctly, you can ensure a safe and successful car maintenance or repair experience.
