1 it is possible to Lift only the empty car on equal and a platform with a firm covering.

2 Wheels which at lifting remain on the earth, should be расклинены for prevention of displacement of the car. Do not rely thus on a lay brake. By manufacture of some repair work the lay brake is necessary for releasing.

To an exception of damages of the bottom part of the car apply corresponding rubber and wooden linings. At all do not lift the car for the power unit, forward or back suspension brackets as it can lead to serious consequences.
