How do I ensure the stand is secure before working under a vehicle?
Ensure the stand is on a level surface, the vehicle is correctly positioned on the saddle, and the captive multi-position pin is securely engaged in one of the height-locking holes.
Troubleshooting
Axle stand wobbles or feels unstable
Ensure the stands are on a perfectly level and solid surface. Verify the vehicle is correctly positioned on the stand's saddle and that the locking pin is fully engaged.
Height adjustment is stiff or difficult
Check the inner column and locking pin for dirt or debris. Clean the mechanism and apply a light lubricant if necessary. Ensure the pin is fully withdrawn before adjusting height.
Locking pin does not engage fully
Inspect the pin and the locating holes for any obstructions. Ensure the inner column is extended or retracted to a position where the pin aligns correctly with a hole.
