To properly position the axle stand, first ensure the vehicle is on a stable and level surface. Use a suitable jack to lift the vehicle to the desired height. Place the axle stand under a solid part of the vehicle's frame or axle, ensuring it is securely positioned before lowering the vehicle onto the stand.
Always use the axle stand on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping. Ensure the vehicle is securely jacked up and the weight is evenly distributed across the axle stand. Never exceed the rated capacity of 1.5 tonnes and avoid working under a vehicle that is only supported by a jack.
Regularly inspect the axle stand for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Keep it clean and dry, and store it in a cool, dry place. Lubricate any moving parts with light oil to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
If the stand appears unstable, do not work under the vehicle. Carefully raise the vehicle with a jack and reposition the stand to ensure it is on a stable, flat surface and correctly aligned with the vehicle's frame or axle.
No, it is not safe to use the axle stand on uneven surfaces. Always use it on a flat and stable surface to ensure maximum stability and safety.
Check that the locking pin is fully inserted and that the stand is firmly secured in the desired height position. Gently shake the vehicle to ensure it is stable before working underneath.
If the locking mechanism is not functioning smoothly, inspect it for dirt or damage. Clean any debris and apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts. If the problem persists, discontinue use and contact a professional for inspection.
Yes, using multiple axle stands can provide additional support and stability, especially for larger vehicles. Ensure each stand is placed under a secure part of the vehicle and that the weight is evenly distributed across all stands used.
Wipe the axle stand with a clean, dry cloth to remove any grease or dirt. For more stubborn grime, use a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly to prevent rusting.
Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the maximum height. It is crucial not to exceed this height to ensure the stand’s stability and safety.
