It would seem that what could be simpler than answering a trivial question: how to raise the car? He took a jack - put it under the car and lifted it. But an improperly raised car, even during a short-term replacement of one wheel, fell off the support, and caused many injuries. Not to mention the tragedy of those cases when the driver carried out repairs while lying under the car.
It is necessary
- - jack,
- - special supports,
- - wheel chocks.
Instructions
Step 1
To lift the car, the designers specially provide for several points on the car body, which are significantly strengthened by the manufacturer in relation to other body parts. At any car service station, only the indicated places are used to lift the car off the ground on the lift. For other parts of the body, no one there will understand your car.
Step 2
Therefore, if the owner started a serious car repair associated with lifting the car, he needs to use not only a jack, but also use wheel chocks. And in those cases when the car is fully suspended, for example, to replace the rear or front axle, then the car is lifted and installed on rigid supports.
Step 3
It should be borne in mind that the jack that comes with the factory delivery is a device that is designed to provide emergency assistance to the driver on the way. But it is not designed to hold the vehicle up for a long time. Therefore, during long-term refurbishment, observe all precautions, especially if the negotiated repair is carried out alone. Raised and installed on reliable supports the car is a guarantee of your safety during repair work.
