Hoist, Frame Contact

 CAUTION: Do not lift vehicle on rocker panel pinch flange or body damage may occur.

NOTE: Front frame lift points are near catalytic converters, use caution to avoid damage to converters.

 CAUTION: All four contact points must contact the adapters.

On frame contact hoists, adapters are necessary to lift the vehicle. The adapters must be placed at four contact points. Position the adapters so they are centered on the adapter contact area.

Frame Lift Points

NOTE: Ensure lifting pad clears catalytic converter bracket on passenger side.

Exercise care when hoisting vehicles equipped with catalytic converter(s). On vehicles so equipped, ensure necessary clearance between hoist and exhaust system components before energizing hoist.

 CAUTION: Do not position hoist pads under No. 3 crossmember.

Vehicles with unitized body-frame construction require special precautions and procedures when the vehicle is jacked up or hoisted. In some cases, special hoist adapters must be used as recommended by specific hoist manufacturers.
