WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ensure that the lifting equipment meets weight requirements and is in good working order. Always follow the lift manufacturer's instructions.
- You may lift and support the front of the vehicle at the front suspension near the wheel assemblies. Ensure that the arms of the front cradle are extended as close to the steering knuckle as possible.
- Ensure that the vehicle is centered on the hoist before attempting to lift.
- When using a suspension-contact hoist, ensure that the rear cradle has adequate clearance for the rear stabilizer bar.
- When lifting or jacking a vehicle, be certain that the lift pads do not contact the exhaust system, brake pipes, cables, HVAC lines, wiring harnesses, fuel lines, or underbody. Such contact may result in damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.
- When using a frame-contact hoist, only place the pads on flat surfaces. Do not place pads within 50 mm (2 in) of any radius.
- Before lifting the vehicle, verify that the vehicle loads are secure and equally distributed.
- When major components are removed from the vehicle when supported on a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and secure the vehicle frame to the hoist pads nearest the component to be removed.
