the front of the Base. The Pawl is on the front.
2. Lift the Handle and lower the Post into the
Base. Make sure it is completely lowered.
CAUTION! Be alert to pinching danger
when lowering the Post.
3. On the opposite side of the Handle there is a tab on
the Base. Using a small punch and hammer (sold
separately), bend the tab in. Bend the tab in enough
to keep the Post from coming out of the Base.
WARNING! Before using the Jack Stands, make sure
the Post cannot be pulled up and out of the Base.

with the other Jack Stand.
