Caution: To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the opposite end from which components are being removed. The additional support will reduce the possibility of the vehicle falling off the hoist. When removing major components of the vehicle while the vehicle is on a hoist, the vehicle frame should be chained to the hoist pads at the same end as the removed components to prevent tip-off. Failure to follow these precautionary measures could result in vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death.
