Frame Contact Hoist
Hoist adapters must contact vehicle in specified areas. See Figure -Figure . Adapters must be positioned to distribute load and support vehicle in a stable manner. DO NOT allow lift pads to contact exhaust system components. On Corvette, position frame contact hoist on frame rails, forward of rear wheels and rearward of front wheels.
CAUTION:
If removing rear axle, fuel tank, spare tire or liftgate, and single-post hoist is used, anchor vehicle to hoist. Place jack stands under vehicle or add weight on rear end of vehicle to prevent tipping when center of gravity changes.
