3. Knowledgeable in checking engine oil level
4. Knowledgeable in checking coolant level
5. Knowledgeable in checking brake and clutch fluid level
6. Knowledgeable in checking tire air pressure
Preparation
1. Walk around the car. Inspect for any damage to lights, tires or body.
Look for any obstacles in front or behind the car.
2. Get inside the car and adjust the driver’s seat. Be able to reach all
control comfortably and easily.
3. Adjust mirror inside and outside. The inside mirror should give a clear
view of the entire area visible through rear window. The outside mirror
should show much of the lane alongside of the car.
4. Lock all doors. This will help to keep doors from springing open in a
collision.
5. Fasten seat belts. The lap belt should be snug, not tight across the hips –
never across the stomach. The shoulder harness should be loose
enough to allow the driver to reach the controls. Belt should never be
twisted.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. This opens the electrical
circuit so that the dashboard gauges can be checked.
7. Check the gauges and the warning lights. Is the fuel tank full? Is the
brake warning light on? The generator of the alternator lamp should be
on.
8. Check the position of the controls. Manual transmission should be in
neutral or park. The parking should be set. Lights and other
accessories should be off. Check the amount of “play” in the steering
wheel.
9. Before starting the engine, press the accelerator to the floor then release it
all the way. If the car has a manual transmission, depress the clutch
pedal. Turn on the starter, as soon as the engine is running smoothly.
10. Check all gauges. Is the pressure normal? The water temperature
should be low, unless the engine is hot. If the water temperature is
high, it should begin dropping immediately. Generator light and brake
should be OFF.
11. Stop on the service brake pedal. Press down until it feels solid.
12. Release the parking brake. The service brake pedal will probably
depress a little further.
13. Check traffic in all direction.
14. Put the car in a gear. Manual transmission; with clutch depress, shift
to low gear or reversed, whichever is appropriate, for automatic
transmission; shift to drive or to reverse. Depress a little against the
brake.
15. Signal your intention if you are leaving the space and pulling out in the
traffic lane.

16. Check traffic. Look your shoulder for oncoming traffic behind you. Do
not depend on your mirror.
17. Begin moving slightly.
18. Check the steering. Turn so the wheels are in correct position straight
ahead or turned outward. Both hands should be on the steering wheel
in the upper half on both sides, with each thumb resting along the rim,
not curled around the wheel. They should be free, both relaxed.

Move and Position the Vehicle
Learning Objective: After reading this Information Sheet, the trainee must be
able to know how to move and position the vehicle.
Driving Forward
Shifting Manual Transmission

1. Steering wheel “play” the distance that the steering wheel can be turned
without actually affecting the position of the front wheel, should be
minimal.
2. Strive for the greatest possible economy movement, maintaining a straight

course in traffic. Every change of direction, no matter how slight,
requires more expenditure of gas and more strain on the working parts of
the car than continuing in a straight line.
3. Attempt to remain in the center of the lane as much as possible, deviating

from this position only when necessary to avoid obstacle.
4. A skillful driver avoids unnecessary lane change. Choose the proper lane
and stay in it.
5. When it is necessary to change lanes, check both mirrors for traffic

behind you, then glance toward the lane into which you will move. If the
Document No.1

Revision #
way is clear, signal as if for a turn than change lanes and cancel the turn
signal.
Braking
1. Always strive for maximum smoothness in bringing the car to a complete

stop. A jerky stop is very uncomfortable for passenger places undue
strain on the car, and could result in loss control.
2. The maximum braking effort should be made when you begin to slow
down well in advance of the point where you wish to stop. Make a
smoother stop and had a greater safety margin by applying the brakes
harder at first then easing off as the car slows down.
3. Panic stop occurs when the driver has driven himself into a dangerous
situation. When panic stop is necessary, apply the maximum braking
effort without skidding until the cars comes to a complete stop “pumping”
the brakes will help in keeping the car for skidding.
4. Do not rely on the brakes alone. The use of the accelerator and brake
pedal must be coordinated when steering and the use of the transmission.
Backing – Up
1. For correct position, turn around in the seat so that you see the back
window with both eyes. If possible, rest your right elbow on the back of
the seat.
2. In the steering, place your left hand at the top of the steering wheel.
Without removing your hand, turn the wheel in the direction you wish to
go.
3. The front of the car will swing through a long arc than the rear. Glance
forward often to be sure the front fenders strike nothing.
4. Keep the speed low. Press the brake pedal slightly and smoothly. Speed,
braking and steering are more difficult to control while backing up than
while going forward.

SKIDDING
There are three basic kinds of control in an automobile, the accelerator,

the brakes and the wheel. All three depend entirely upon traction-friction to do
their work. Without friction between the tires and the road surface, a car
cannot be controlled.
A driver generally looses control of his car because he accelerates too

rapidly, applies too hard or turns too sharply. Any of these driving errors can
cause the car momentum to overcome tire traction, thereby producing an
uncontrolled skidding car,
COUNTER STEER
In order to regain control, the driver must know how to break the skid,
and he must have sufficient time and distance in which to act. Of course, it
would be better not to get into the skid in the first place; however once a car
begins skidding, the most important thing is to regain control.
Not all skids are alike; however, the basic corrective measure for all kinds
involves some combination of these three steps.
Document No.1
Date Developed:
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
1. Do not apply the brakes. If the brakes are already applied, release
them until control has been regained.
2. Do not accelerate. If the car accelerating before the skid began, keep
your foot on the accelerator and maintain the light steady pressure.
There is one important exemption to this rule. In a four-wheel skid,
such as might occur on an extremely slick pavement, it may be
necessary to accelerate slightly in order to get the wheel rolling again.
3. Counter steer (turn the wheel into the skid) until the car has turned its
proper position on the road. During a skid, a car may slide sideways
along the road. Counter steering is the only method to correct this.
STARTING ON A HILL
If the car has an automatic transmission and it is necessary to keep the

car from rolling after completely stopping, use your left foot on the brake pedal
and right foot on the accelerator.
Use the following procedure with the manual transmission.
1. While stopping on hill, do not let out the clutch to the clutch point in
order to keep the car from rolling backward. Use the brake to hold the
car in place. While the car stopped, disengage the clutch.
2. If necessary, “heel and toe” the brakes and accelerator. Hold down the
brake pedal of the heel of the right foot and press on the accelerator
with the toes (or vice versa, whichever is more comfortable). This
allows you to use the clutch point, then release the brake while
accelerating. Continue letting out the clutch as the car begins to move
forward in low gear.
TURNING CORNERS
Left Turns
1. Chose the correct lane well in advance of point where you will turn.
2. Signal for the turn at least 200 feet before reaching the intersection or
corner. Avoid signaling too early, since you signal may confuse others.
3. Check all traffic behind and ahead. Notice the speed of the
approaching traffic.
Document No.1

JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
4. Begin braking early; checking the mirrors to be sure cars behind you
are slowing down. If the car has a manual transmission, downshift to
second gear.
5. The lowest speed could be reached before actually beginning the turn.
Once you start to turn, accelerate just enough to allow the engine to
pull the car through the maneuver.
6. Make a final check of the traffic behind you and on the street into
which you are turning.
7. As the rear wheels clear the crosswalk or pass the edge of the curve,
turn the steering wheel to the left, aiming into the correct lane. Watch
for pedestrian in any crosswalk that will be crossed.
8. As you enter the correct lane, straighten the steering wheel and
accelerate to the cruising speed, shifting as necessary.
RIGHT TURN
Steps 1 to 6 are just the same as for left turn, except that you should be
in the lane farthest to the right including the perking lane or a lane reserved for
a bus stop. If a bus is present, loading or unloading passengers, wait until it
leaves.
7. Begin steering to the right as the front of the passenger compartment

door passes the end of the curve or the crosswalk. Do not swerve out
into another lane.
Complete the turn into correct lane, watching for pedestrian in both
crosswalk and for traffic in the street into which you are turning.
8. Begin straightening the steering wheel about halfway through the turn.
In any turning maneuver, obey the laws and rules regarding weight-of-
way to oncoming traffic.
TURNING AROUND
Turning around is the most hazardous of driving. It should be done only

with extreme care. In fact, special care should always be exercised by the driver
who attempts any driving maneuver that is contrary to the normal flow of traffic
or that might confuse others.

The following turnaround maneuvers are recommended for use only on
rural roads where there is little or no traffic. On city streets, it is much safer
and takes less time to drive around the block.
A U-turn on many city streets is illegal.
U-TURN
1. Move the far right side of road. Check traffic.
2. Signal for left turn.
3. Complete the turn in a single motion turning the steering wheel as
far as the left as possible. This maneuver can be made only in a
wide road with very little traffic.
Two-Point Left Turnaround

1. To make two-point turnaround using a driveway or side road to the
left, begin as making a normal left turn.
2. Stop on the driveway as soon as you completely left the main road.
Check for traffic coming from your right.
3. Back onto the road, using only the nearest available lane stop.
4. Go forward.
Two-Point Right Turnaround

1. To make two-point turnaround using a driveway or side road to the
right, signal for the right turn.
2. Continue past the driveway, and then stop. Check traffic from behind
and the right.
3. Back into the driveway. Stop when you have completely cleared the
road.
4. Check traffic in both direction, signal for the left turn. Go forward,
making the left turn into the proper lane.
Three-Point Right Turnaround

1. Move to the far right side of the road. Check traffic, making sure that
you have time and space to complete the turnaround.
2. Signal for a left turn.
3. Turn the steering wheel as far to the left as possible.
4. Turn the steering wheel to the right and back up to the opposite edge
of the pavement.
5. Check traffic again.
6. Go forward into the proper lane. This maneuver should be made only
if there is very little traffic. Wheels should be leaving the pavement in
step 2 or 4.

PARKING
Angle Parking
1. Approach the parking space at low speed, checking for the traffic
behind you. Use the right turn signal. You should be about five feet
away from the line of the parked cars.
2. Begin turning to the right when the front edge of the passenger
reaches a point even with the left rear fender of the car parked to the
right of the empty space.
3. Clear frequently to be sure that your left front fender will clear to the
car to the left and that right rear fender will clear the right of the car.
4. Pull straight into the space and stop with the right front wheel
touching the curb. Set parking brake.
5. When backing out, check traffic first then put transmission in reverse.
Release the parking brake. Check traffic again and back out slowly.
6. Begin turning to the right when your right rear wheel passes the end of
the car in the next space. Remember to check your left front fender for
clearance.
7. When you have completely cleared the parking space, turn the steering
wheel to the left and go forward into the proper driving lane.
Parallel Parking
1. Approach the parking space at low speed. Use the tight turn signal.
Continue past the parking space until your right car is even with the
car ahead of empty space, and then stop.
2. Check traffic again. Begin backing slowly. As soon as right wheel is
even with the end of the car on the right, begin turning the steering
wheel to the right. Turn the wheel rapidly as far as it will go.
3. Straighten the wheel when you are moving backward at roughly 45-
degree angle to the parking space.
4. As soon as your right wheel passes the end of the car to your right,
begin turning your steering wheel rapidly to the left. In effect, aim
your left rear fender at the left headlight of the car behind you. Stop,
turn the steering wheel to the right, and go forward until your car is
centered in the parking space. Set the parking brake.
5. Continue backing until you are almost touching the bumper of the car
behind you. Stop, turn the steering wheel to the right, and go forward
unit your car is centered in the parking space. Set the parking brake.
6. When you are leaving the parking space, check traffic first. Release
the parking brake. Then back up as far as possible, turning the
steering wheel to the right.

7. Stop without touching the car behind you. Check traffic again, signal
for a little turn, turn the steering wheel as far as the left as possible
and go forward the proper lane.
Parallel Parking on Downgrade
Park in the usual manner, except that your front wheels should be
turned sharply toward the curb. When you stop the car, let it roll against
the curb. Set the parking space.
Parallel Parking on Upgrade

1. If there is a curb, pull into the traffic space in the usual way. After
pulling forward and stopping, turn the wheel sharply away from the
curb. Let the car roll back slightly until the wheel rest against the
curb. Set the parking brake. When you are ready to leave the parking
space, you will have to pull forward slightly before turning the wheel
and backing.
2. If there is no curb, pull into the space in the usual way. After pulling
forward and stopping, turn the front wheels sharply toward the edge of
the pavement. Be sure the parking brake is properly set and that the
car is left in low gear (manual) or Park (automatic). If some reason the
car should begin rolling backward, it will off the street rather than into
the path of the oncoming cars.
Leaving the Car

The following steps should be taken whenever the car is left
unattended, even for a minute or two. Make this procedure a habit for it
can save your time and money by reducing the possibility of theft.
1. Put the transmission in low gear (manual) or in park (automatic).

2. Set the parking brake. Keep your foot on the service brake fluid until
the parking brake is set.
3. Turn off the lights, radio all other switches. Quickly check all gauges.
4. Turn off the engine. Remove the ignition key.
5. Leave the car and lock the doors.
NOTE: It is always unwise to leave anything valuable in the car, even with
the door locked. If it is necessary to leave anything, at least the article
completely out of sight in the trunk or glove compartment, under the seat or
covered with cloth.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING
Stone says that defensive driving is nothing more than a set of attitudes
applied to specific driving conditions. The basic principle is to avoid danger
whenever possible. Here is the gist his advice.
1. Assume all others drivers are incompetent.
2. Minimize risk if you cannot avoid them.
3. Always drive as if your life depended on it.
4. Plan a route to be sure you know where you are going.
5. Yield to Main Street. Always be alert for possible danger and ready to
yield the right way.
6. Be decisive. Once you have begun a maneuver, such as a turn or
crossing and intersection, complete the maneuver as quickly as you can.
7. Keep your distance. In the open highway or on the city street, keep
enough distance between you and the vehicle ahead. In this way, you can
stop safely if necessary.
8. Choose your lane while you are moving into the traffic. Pick the lane in
which traffic is following most smoothly. Avoid lane hopping making lane
changes in short distance. Select the proper lane well in advance in the
turn you plan to make. Signal your lane changes and cancel after
entering the new lane.
9. In approaching intersections, be alert for the drivers who fail to signal
their attention to turn or who turn from the wrong lane.
10. Where to stop. Stop from the painted stop lane or behind near the
crosswalk line. If neither of these marking exists, stop at the stop sign.
Stopping no part of your vehicle should extend into the intersection itself.
Stop in the proper lane.
11. Crossing the street. Having stopped, stay alert for your first clear
opportunity to cross the street safely. Watch or the opening in the traffic
in both directions. You must be ready to go, with transmission in the
proper gear.

12. Stay out of the way. Keeping out of the drive’s way is not only a matter
of courtesy. It prevents unnecessary congestion and collision.
13. Observe the signals. If you do, you are justifying what the traffic signals
were installed for. See your signal before you enter an intersection.
14. Making a left turn. Turning left is hazardous maneuver in heavy traffic.
If possible, avoid left turns in your rout plan. In making left turn, choose
an intersection where there are separate left turn lanes, four way stop
signs or traffic signals.
15. Making right turn. Turning right even in heavy traffic is easy. Still, you
can right turn incorrectly by approaching too fast forgetting giving the
proper turn signal by swinging way from the curb lane before making the
turn, then swinging wide onto the crossing-street before going into the
proper lane by stopping half way through the turn; by making a right turn
from the wrong lane, by beginning your turn too soon and your rear wheel

16. Exceeding the posted speed limit. Speed limits are established for good
reason. Exceeding posted speed limits in an open invitation for an
accident. There are many instances when driving within the posted limit
is still excessive speed. Over speeding means driving too fast or

LIFTING THE VEHICLE

Document No.1
Date Developed:
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
Many service procedures require lifting the vehicle. There are two basic
methods of lifting the vehicle from the floor: floor jack and safety stands, and
hoists. Each requires the technician to follow certain safety rules to prevent
injury and vehicle damage.
FLOOR JACK AND SAFETY STAND USE
Before using the floor jack, make sure it has a sufficient rating to lift and
sustain the weight of the vehicle. Next, inspect of it for proper lubrication and
hydraulic fluid leaks. If the jack does not pass any one of these inspections, tag
it and notify your instructor immediately.
To lift the entire vehicle, begin by placing the vehicles transmission into PARK:
place it in first gear if the vehicle has a manual transmission. Set the parking
brake and place wheel blocks around the rear wheels (figure 1-3). Position the
floor jack under the front of the vehicle at a location strong enough to support
the weight. The jack should center between the front tires and positioned so
that the lift will be straight up and down (figure 1-4).
WARNING: If you are lifting only one wheel of the vehicle, be
careful not to lift it so high that it can slip off the jack saddle.
Operate the jack until the jack

saddle contacts the lift point. Check for Floor Crane
good contact. If things look good, lift Electrical Chain Hoist
the front of the vehicle a couple of
inches off the floor. Recheck the
position of the jack. Continue to check
the jack position throughout the lifting
procedure. If the vehicle or jack begins
to lean, lower the jack and reset it. Lift
the vehicle to the required height. Do
not lift higher than is necessary.
WARNING: Never place

blocks of wood, and so Block and Tackle
on, between the vehicle frame
and floor jack to obtain
additional lift. If additional lift is
required, the blocks should be
placed under the floor jack.
Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported only by a floor
jack. Place safety stands under
the vehicle in locations that will
support the weight (figure 1-5). Use two safety stands to support.

3.4.7 Cranes and Lifting Equipment
Lifting equipment is used in automotive workshops top lift components, such as
engines, gearboxes, etc., when removing or refitting them to a vehicle. They are
also used to lift complete bodies.
They can be “A” frames or suspended girders, with block and tackle or chain
hoists or “C” floor cranes. Each type operates in a different way.
Learn to use the one in your workshop, its capabilities and safety aspects.
Regulations provide that all such

equipment be marked with its safe
working load (SWD).
WARNING:
Do not exceed the safe working
load.
Important safety points to observe

when using lifting equipment.
 Check limit switches on power-
operated hosts.
 Ensure the lifting tackle is
attached securely to the
component.
 If the job requires more than one
 pair of hands, ask a fellow worker
to assist. Do not attempt it by
yourself.
 The SWL decreases as the jib of a
“C” floor crane is extended. The
cranes stability also decreases.
Always use the shortest jib position
capable of doing the job.
 Do not move under a suspended
component or allow anyone else
to do so.
 Lower the component to the floor
or suitable stand as soon as
practicable.
- Move the crane or hoist
slowly, smoothly and
under control at all times.

from a vehicle, plan and follow a
methodical sequence. Refer to manufacturers manuals and ensure all parts are
disconnected, to carry out the removal easily and quickly.
3.4.5 LIFTING FIXTURE
Special fixtures are designed by manufacturers and tool companies to lift

engines, gearboxes and other heavy components. They save time and make job
simpler and safer. When available, they should be used in preference to slings,
chains, etc.
Attach the fixture to the component

as detailed in the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Before Using, Inspect The Fixture.

 Links should not be worn,
stretched or fractured.
 Pivots should not be excessively
worn and should move freely.
 Fasteners should not be
stretched and threads are in
good condition.
 Use only approved shackles.
- Do not use any bolt or pin
instead of the proper
shackle pin.
When Attaching The Fixture.
 Nuts must be fully on, no nut

threads showing, holding the
fixture tightly against the
component.
 Bolts, cap screws, etc., must be
screwed in, over a distance of at
least one and a half times their
diameter and hold the fixture
tightly against the component.
When using safety stands:

Adjust to the desired height.
- Equal heights side height.
- The vehicle should be level
when on the stands.

AUTOMOTIVE
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
Raise the vehicle slightly above the required height.
Position the stands under the axle or reinforced body member. Ensure the
stands:
- Cannot damage any parts,

e.g. floor, body members,
hoses, tubes or cables.
- Are stable and will not shift
when taking the weight of
the vehicle;
- Saddle contacts a horizontal
surface or tapered edge that
could tilt the stand as the
vehicle is lowered.
Gently lower the vehicle on to the
stands, checking that the vehicle is
seating correctly on the saddles.
Before removing the jack, make sure

the Vehicle is supported properly by the
Stands and is safe for working
underneath.
USING SAFETY STANDS
Safety or axle stands are stable, robust

supports that hold the vehicle at a
height above the floor to enable free
access for working underneath
or removing the wheels, axles, etc.
They can be of a set height for specific

jobs or adjustable for a variety of uses.
Some are large and heavy for trucks
and Heavy equipment; the more
common stands are light weight, but
capable of supporting one to two tons.
Check the safety stands before

using:
 That the saddle is:
- Not cracked or spread;
- Clean, free from grease, oil,
etc.,
- In good condition.

AUTOMOTIVE
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
 That the stand is stable is stable on the floor
And the base or legs are not distorted or
Spread.
 That the adjuster (thread, rack

or pin):
- Operates properly;
- Locks in position;
- Is capable of supporting the
weight (SWL).
WARNING:
Use the correct pin or a steel pin of the
correct diameter and shear strength if
the stands are of the type that has a
series of holes and a pin to adjust the
height. Do not use any old bolt or pin
that may appear to be suitable for the
job.
 If safely stands are not available, use

heavy wooden blocks, properly
stacked.
 Lower the jack slowly, until the weight
of the vehicle is taken on the safety
stands, checking continually that the
stand saddles are correctly located.
WARNING:
Do not use bricks or masonry blocks to
support vehicles.
 They are subject to sudden
cracking and spelling, allowing
the vehicle to drop without
Safety aspects
warning.
to remember
 Never work under a vehicle supported
solely by a jack. Always use safety
stands.
- Jacks are designed for lifting
purposes, not for supporting
loads.
 Avoid jacking a vehicle in an area
where part of the jack protrudes into
a passage or driveway, creating a
hazard.
AUTOMOTIVE
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
If unavoidable, remove the jack immediately or indicate its presence to
the workshop.
 Never remove a jack from another
person’s set-up, without first checking
with him that it is safe to do so.
 When raising or lowering a trolley jack,
it must be free to roll under the vehicle.
- The saddle of the jack is
mounted on one end of the
hydraulically operated lever.
- The other end of the lever is
pivoted on the jack body just
forward of the rear castors.
When lowered, the saddle is
above the wheels. As the jack is
raised the saddle is moved in an
arc around the lever’s pivot and
when fully raised, it is above the
pivot just forward of the castors.
When lifting a vehicle with a
jack, the saddle remains
stationary
in relation to the vehicle. The
jack must move in, under the
vehicle, or, when being lowered,
it must move out, away from the
vehicle.
- If the grounds surface is soft or
rough, preventing the jack from
moving, the vehicle must able
to move. If neither the vehicle
nor the jack can move, the
saddle will be forced off its
jacking point, letting the
vehicle drop, damaging it and
possibly injuring you and your
workmate.
 Ensure the control value is in the
raise position.
 Raise the jack until its saddle just
contacts the vehicle.
 Check and if necessary, correctly
locate the saddle under the jacking point.

 Raise the vehicle above the required height by operating the jack. At the same
time, continually check that the saddle is correctly positioned and does not slip.
 Position the safety stands and set them to the required height.
- Ensure they will not damage
splash pans, floor, fuels lines,
brake lines or electrical cables,
etc.
WARNING:
Position the safety stands
without putting your body
under the vehicle.
When jacking a vehicle from the side:
 Position the jack under the jacking
point on a reinforced member.
 Raise the jack until the saddle just
contacts the vehicle.
 Check and if necessary, correctly
locate the jack saddle.
 Continue jacking and position the
safety stands.
 Never go under a jacked vehicle,
unless it is fully supported by
appropriate safety stands or blocks,
etc.
To avoid damage to the sill panel or

reinforced member, use a piece of wood
that fits squarely on the saddle and
correctly under the vehicle.
Before using a trolley jack, check at:
 It’s safe working load is greater than
the load to be lifted;
 It does not leak fluid;
 It does not creep, e.g. gradually lower
itself;
 It is stable, e.g. does not wobble in
the raised and lowered position;
 The control valve operate correctly
freely;
 The wheels and castors rotate freely;
 The jack is clean and the saddle free
from grease and oil.
Report any faulty to your supervisor.

AUTOMOTIVE
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
WARNING:
Do not use a jack unless it is in
good condition and of good quality.
When using a trolley jack:
 The vehicle being lifted should be preferably on a level hard surface. If the
surface slopes:
- Make sure the ignition is switched “off”.
- Apply the hand brake.
- Select “Park” in an automatic
gearbox or select first or reverse
gear in a manual gearbox.
- Check the front and rear of the
wheels that remain on the
ground.
 Position the jack so that the saddle,
hen raised, will contact the jacking
point:
- Manufacturer’s manuals show
the location of the jacking
points.
- If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
- To avoid damage to the plash
pan or floor, use a substantial
piece of wood that fits squarely
on the jack saddle and
spreads the vehicle weight
across the pan or floor and
between two or more
reinforced members.
TROLLEY JACKS
The trolley or garage jack is the most

common type used in automotive
workshops. It is mechanically or
hydraulically operated and mounted on
wheels and castors for ease in
positioning. A range of sizes is available;
small ones used by the handyman for
lifting passenger cars to large ones

AUTOMOTIVE
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
capable of lifting passenger cars to large ones capable of lifting heavy trucks and
earth moving equipment.
The safe working load is marked on the jack bod or on a specification plate
attached to the jack. The most common size in use is for two to five tons lifting
capacity.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the safe working load.
Only the recommended hydraulic fluid
to top up or fill a hydraulic jack. Do
not use brake fluid.
When in good condition, trolley jacks

are stable;
 Easy to position and operate;
 Capable of lifting heavy loads;
 Able to lift two wheels of a vehicle;
 Able to be moved while supporting
loads.
 Before jacking a vehicle, know its
jacking points.
 Some vehicles with independent rear
suspension cannot be jacked under
the differential.
- Its mountings will be damaged.
CAUTION:
Most modern petrol-fuelled vehicles are
equipped with an evaporative emission
system. Raising the fuel tank above the
carbon canister by jacking or any method
can cause fuel to flood into the canister and
render it unserviceable. If the vehicle
requires jacking so that the tank is higher
than the canister, isolate the canister from
the fuel tank as described by the
manufacturer’s manual.
When Using Such A Jack Or Any Jack:

 Check that the ignition is switched
“off”
 Select first or reverse gear in a
manual gearbox.

AUTOMOTIVE
JEREMY-KARL K.
Revision #
- For automatic gearboxes select “Park”.
 Apply the handbrake.
 Chock the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the one to be raised.
- On sloping ground chock all wheels that remain on the ground.
 Use a jack base or plank under the
jack if the ground is soft or uneven.
 Do not work under a vehicle
supported solely by a jack.
Hand Jacks
Hand or bottle jacks are compact and
simple to operate. Various size are
available; the large ones capable of
lifting many tons; the smaller ones for
use on cars will only lift one or two
tons. They are mechanically or
hydraulically operated and have many
useful applications.
 Supporting an assembly, e.g. engine.
 Straightening or aligning parts.
 Applying force to remove parts.
 Supplying force for a press.
When using a hand jack to lift the wheel

of a vehicle, ensure that the jack saddle
is securely located under the jacking
point or the axle, so that it cannot slip.
NOTE:
Hand jacks normally have small saddle; the top
surface of which is serrated and grooved to
prevent slippage.
Using Jacks
Jacks are available in a range of types
and sizes. Some have limited application
and are only used to change a wheel.
Others have a variety of uses:
 Lifting two wheels at once.
 Supporting assemblies.
 Straightening parts.
 Applying force to remove parts.
Jacks are designed to lift a maximum

weight safely. (Safe working load: SWL).

The SWL is marked on the casing of most multi-purpose jacks.
When using a jack:
Select one designed for the job.
 Ensure that it can lift a greater weight or exert a greater force than that
required.
Tool kit Jacks

Passenger cars are equipped with a jack
as part of their tool kit. Most of these
jacks have a limited use; they lift one
wheel at a time.to keep the vehicle stable,
they rely in the way they are attached to
the car and the three wheels that remain
on the ground.
They suit a particular model of car and
attach to brackets or mounting points
built with the vehicle bumpers or body
and must be used at the positions
specified by the manufacturer.
Their use is limited to changing a wheel.
How to operate them is described in the
manufacturer manual or service book.
Lowering the Hoist
 Remove all tools, lights, hoses and
cables from under the hoist and
around the hoist area.
 Ensure the area is clear of other
persons.
 Disengage the safety device or leg.
 Keep your feet clear of the hoist.
 Lower the hoist slowly and check that
it is fully down.
- Never leave a hoist unattended
