One Ton Scissor Car Jack – Black Bull

Description

The Black Bull One Ton Scissor Car Jack is ideal to have on hand for emergency roadside tire changes. I like the one ton Scissor Car Jack because it weighs only 6 pounds! Plus I lift it easily out of the trunk of my car, it’s lightweight. I use the cranking handle to raise the jack when I position it under the load. It has a lifting height of 3.5 to 12 inches. I use the Scissor Car Jack to stabilize or lift most cars, trucks, SUVs, trailers or RVs.

To use a scissor car jack, I follow these steps:

1. Park Safely: I ensure my vehicle is on a flat, stable surface. Then I engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels to prevent rolling.
2. Locate the Jack Points: I read my vehicle’s manual to find the correct jack points. Typically, these are reinforced areas along the vehicle’s frame.
3. Position the Jack: Next, I place the scissor jack under the designated jack point. Then I ensure it’s aligned properly and securely touching the frame.
4. Raise the Vehicle: I insert the handle into the jack’s socket and start turning it clockwise. This action will rotate the screw mechanism inside the scissor jack, causing the jack to expand and lift the vehicle. I turn until the tire is off the ground.
5. Secure the Vehicle: If you’re changing a tire, remove the lug nuts with a wrench while the vehicle is lifted. Replace the tire with the spare, then hand-tighten the lug nuts onto the bolts.
6. Lower the Vehicle: Turn the handle counterclockwise to slowly lower the vehicle back down to the ground. Ensure that the tire is firmly in place before fully removing the jack.
7. Remove the Jack and Tools: Once the vehicle is securely on the ground, I remove the scissor jack. I make sure there are no other tools under the car. Then I store it away properly.
8. Check Work: I double-check that all lug nuts are tight and the vehicle is stable before driving.

I ensure my safety by working on a level surface and following these steps carefully.
