Using a car jack stand is a basic but careful task. Here are the general steps for using a car jack stand:
Choose a flat and solid ground: Before operation, please make sure the car is parked on a flat, solid ground to ensure the stability of the stand.
Position the car jack: Place the jack below the vehicle manufacturer's recommended jack support points, which are typically located on reinforced sections near the vehicle's chassis. The vehicle's owner's manual will usually provide instructions for these locations.
Raise the car: Operate the lifting mechanism of the jack and slowly lift the car until the wheels leave the ground. During this process, make sure that the jack support points are stable and check that the car is stable.
Install the jack stands: With the car raised, place the jack stands in an appropriate location, usually under the support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Make sure the bracket is securely placed on the vehicle chassis.
Lower the car: Gently release the jack's lifting mechanism and slowly lower the car until the supports bear the weight of the car. Make sure the brackets support the car firmly when lowering the car to avoid accidents.
Perform repairs or maintenance: After completing the above steps, you can begin any needed car repairs or maintenance. Always make sure the stand is secure and pay attention to safety when performing these tasks.
Evacuate the jack stands: After completing repairs or maintenance work, slowly raise the car, remove the stands, and slowly lower the car back to the ground. Then, remove the jack and store it safely.
When performing any vehicle repair or maintenance work, always use caution and make sure you understand and follow all safety precautions. If you're unsure about operating a car jack stand, it's best to seek professional help
