Place of work
If car care becomes a hobby, you need to create the necessary conditions for this.
Always lock your car!
The jack, as you know, serves only to raise the car. It does not provide sufficient support when working under a raised vehicle. Even with the biggest rush, do not refuse a professionally performed fixing of a jacked up car!
When supporting the machine, be sure to place stones or wooden wedges under the wheels to prevent it from rolling when it is raised.
How to fix the car?
Hollow building blocks are the cheapest way to fix a car. They must not be wet or cracked, otherwise they may slip or break under load. Between the block and the body, you need to put a board to evenly distribute the load on the entire block. The hollow block must be installed with holes vertically on a flat, solid surface (concrete or asphalt).
Tripod stands are the perfect addition to your garage jack. With all other jacks, as well as with a garage jack installed on the side, there is a danger that the tripod placed on the other side will simply move to the side. Therefore, it is best to mount the tripod so that one of its legs points outwards and the other two points towards the middle of the vehicle. The support surfaces of the tripod must not be too small!
Ramps represent the fastest way to lift a car. The car is absolutely safe.
