ASH4000 High Level Supplementary Support Stand
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard,
this product will, if used according to these instructions, and properly
maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR
THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
IMPORTANT NOTE: these stands are rated singly. Used in pairs they will
support twice the rated load.
TAKE CARE; you may know the total weight of the load you want to support but
you cannot calculate the exact weight distribution between support points.
For this reason always allow a 40% margin for error.
For example: a load weighing 8tonne could have a single point load of more
than 4tonne and two 4tonne supports would not be adequate.
Note: Sold singly but must be used in pairs.
Only to be used in conjunction with permanently fixed lifts. Not mobile column
lifts.

OPERATION
4.1. Before undertaking work, conduct a risk assessment with a responsible
person and ensure it covers the weight to be supported and a margin for error.
Never work alone on a load supported on these stands. It is the employer’s
responsibility to ensure the operator has read these instructions and is
familiar with the products’ use and limitations. Ensure that all operators can
read English or have the instructions explained to them in their native
language. Also ensure the warnings on the product are observed.
4.2. Vehicle must have wheels that stay in contact with the lift chocked
before using the stands.
4.3. Use only in conjunction with a permanently fixed vehicle lift – Never

locate the supplementary supports, on the recommended support positions.
4.4. Ensure the pin is inserted fully. Use stands as a pair to support either
the front or rear of the vehicle only. BE CERTAIN that all the stands are set
to a height that will leave the load supported completely horizontal and not
at an angle that could cause slipping on the stand support heads. Ensure
there are no objects or individuals in the area other than the operator and
the supervisor. Take extreme care in lifting or lowering the load. Engage the
assistance of a colleague while you perform this task. LOWER ONTO ALL STANDS

crutch/saddle.

load so that it becomes unstable.

and will not slip from lifting points. Remove the stands.
