Frame Contact Hoist

CAUTION: All four contact points must contact the adapters.

CAUTION: Ensure the lifting pads clear the three way catalytic converter.

On frame contact hoists, adapters are necessary to lift the vehicle. The adapters must be placed at the four contact points. Position the adapters so that they are centered on the adapter contact area.

Use care when hoisting vehicles equipped with a three way catalytic converter. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance between the hoist and exhaust system components before energizing the hoist.
