supports would not be adequate.

1. SAFETY
WARNING! DO NOT overload Axle stands beyond rated capacity. Overloading can cause damage to, or failure of, the axle
stands. Position load on centre of crutch/saddle only. Always use stands in pairs on hard level surface capable of sustaining
the load. Use of stands on other than hard level surfaces can result in load instability and possible loss of load. DO NOT
use on tarmacadam. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to axle stands, loss of load resulting in
property damage, serious personal injury or loss of life.
▲ DANGER! Great care must be taken to ensure you lower the vehicle (or other load) slowly and carefully onto the centres of
the crutch/saddle of the axle stands.
Use only as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum capacity as marked on the axle stand, per pair.
Use no more than a single pair of stands either on the front, rear or one side of the vehicle. Use in pairs.
No alterations or modifi cations shall be made to this product.
Use on a hard, level surface, e.g. concrete. Do not use on uneven ground or tarmacadam.
Securely chock wheels in contact with the ground. Before jacking and placing the stands, apply vehicle handbrake, and place in gear.
(For automatics select the 'Park' mode).
Make sure that each stand is securely located under a strong point on the vehicle; consult the vehicle manufacturer's
handbook for guidance. Ensure that height adjust locking mechanism is fully located before applying any load to the
axle stand.
Ensure that the load is located centrally on the saddle, and that the weight is directed through the vertical axis of the
stand.
Exercise extra care when using with a three wheeled vehicle or a trailer. Refer to vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Once vehicle is supported, ensure that the vehicle and stands are stable before starting work. Ensure that it is not
possible for the vehicle to move before commencing any work.
Inspect stands before each use.
DO NOT use if they show signs of damage.
DO NOT use if it is suspected that they have been overloaded.
Before commencing any work or going beneath the vehicle, undertake a risk assessment. Ensure that a responsible person is aware
of the work about to be undertaken.
Replace any labels on the axle stand should they become unreadable. This applies in particular to any warning or operation instruction
labels. If replacement labels are required, contact your Sealey stockist.
DO NOT use axle stands on the highway, or anywhere else if it is deemed to be unsafe.
DO NOT push or twist the vehicle/load whilst it is supported on stands.
DO NOT mix components between stands. Use only as supplied.
DO NOT allow children or animals in the vicinity of a vehicle supported on axle stands.
