Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, inspect the threads of the steel thrust bolt to ensure they are free of debris and well-lubricated with a high-pressure grease. The tool is compatible with the vast majority of small cars and light vans found in standard domestic vehicle fleets. After each use, wipe the tool clean with a shop rag to remove road grime or grease. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the cast body and steel components. Regularly check the thrust bolt for signs of stripping or deformation to ensure safe operation.
