Using my Hanteng X5 model to explain the correct use of car jacks

The jacks carried with the vehicle are respectively supported on the metal bars on the lower left and right sides of the vehicle. There will be a groove or triangular mark on the metal bars. Of course, the safest way is to check the vehicle's manual. The user manual will provide detailed information on the correct use of the jack and the safe support location of the vehicle.

It is worth noting that if you choose the wrong support point, the chassis will be damaged. There will be special support points at the bottom of the car body to support the jack. The support points for family cars are usually on the inside of the side skirt, just like the chassis. The two fins on both sides are about 20 cm behind the front wheel and about 20 cm in front of the rear wheel. This fin protrudes from the steel plate of the chassis and can withstand greater pressure than other places. If the jack is supported on the steel plate of the chassis, it is likely to cause unnecessary damage to the chassis. In addition, supporting the suspension arm or hem is also an incorrect operation method. If the jack slips and the vehicle falls down during use, the chassis and jack will be damaged.

Precautions for using car jacks: 1. When the vehicle is jacked up, the engine must not be started. If the engine is started, the vibration of the engine or the rotation of the wheels will shake the vehicle from the jack. Danger of slipping.

2. To ensure safety, cars of various models generally have fixed positions when using jacks. Jacks cannot be used to support bumpers, cross beams, etc.

3. When replacing the outer tires of the two wheels, the inner wheels of the car can be parked on a wooden block or stone with a suitable height, so that the outer tires are suspended in the air and replaced. Be careful to tighten the handbrake and plug the front wheel.

4. When replacing the front tire or rear inner tire, use stones or bricks to cushion the front and rear axles of the car, and dig a hole under the tire to be removed so that the tire is suspended and can be replaced.

Special reminder: The rocker arm of the car jack is a split structure and needs to be connected with the matching wrench and casing before it can be rotated. Therefore, when lifting the jack, the force must be even and avoid excessive force. Too fast or too hard
