Will this jack work with my vehicle's factory lift points?

Yes, bottle jacks are designed to fit under pinch welds and rocker panels on most vehicles. Always locate and use the factory lift points marked in your owner's manual — never rely on the frame or suspension components.

Is a jack stand required when working under the vehicle?

Absolutely. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack — always use proper jack stands rated for your vehicle's weight and placed at solid support points. A jack is for raising; stands are for safety.

What maintenance does this jack need?

Keep the hydraulic pump clean and dry, and wipe the ram after each use to prevent rust. Store it in a dry space. If the jack becomes difficult to pump or won't hold pressure, it's time for service or replacement.
