To properly use the Westfalia 96 2 Jack Stands, please follow these steps:

1. Before the first use, unpack the jack stands and check for any transport damage. Dispose of any unnecessary packaging material or keep it out of the reach of children.

2. Insert the rack/saddle unit into the base of the jack stands. Bend the safety tab inward to securely couple the rack/saddle unit to the base.

3. Place the vehicle on a level surface and jack it up with a jack. Make sure to secure the vehicle against rolling away, such as using brake wedges.

4. Set the required height of the jack stands. Lift the release lever in the base and hold the rack at the desired height. Then lower the unlocking lever and fix the rack in the set position.

5. Secure the rack with the locking pin.

6. Place the jack stands in a suitable place under the vehicle, following the information provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Always use the jack stands in pairs per axle.

7. Lower the jack until the vehicle is securely seated on the jack stands. Double-check that the jack stands are correctly positioned. If necessary, lift the load again to correct the positioning.

8. After finishing the work, raise the vehicle again, remove the jack stands one by one, and slowly lower the vehicle. Ensure that no people or objects remain under or within range of the vehicle.

Please note the following safety precautions:

- Always read the manual carefully and use the jack stands according to the instructions.
- Keep bystanders away from the jack stands and the load being lifted.
- Do not use the jack stands as a ladder, stool, or for any other purpose.
- Place the jack stands on an even and hard surface, ensuring the ground can support the load.
- Do not overload the jack stands. The maximum load capacity is 3000 kg each.
- Always secure the jack stands with the safety pins.
- Use the jack stands in pairs and ensure they are identical in shape and design.
- Do not use damaged jack stands.
- Working under lifted loads without proper securing is forbidden.
- Do not modify the jack stands in any way.
- Before each use, check the jack stands for full functionality. Do not use them if their full functionality cannot be ensured or if damage is detected.
