JAKARTA, FEBRUARY 2025, Daihatsu friends must already understand what a jack is. This toolkit is specifically designed to assist mechanics or drivers when they want to repair components underneath the car. There are three types of jacks that can be used for daily use, including hydraulic jacks, crocodile jacks, and folding or diamond jacks.

However, the most commonly used jack or usually seen in vehicles is the folding jack or diamond jack. Quoted from moservice.id, the use of this type of jack is known to be compact and easy to use. Even the special device for passenger cars or pickups is claimed to hold a load of up to 2 tons and has its own storage space.

Due to its compact shape and maximum usability, here is a guide on how to safely use a diamond jack.

Ensure Parking on a Flat Area

Make sure the car is parked on a flat and stable surface to avoid the risk of the car shifting while being jacked up. Then give a warning sign by turning on the hazard lights. And before lifting the car, slightly loosen the wheel bolts that will be removed.

Position the Jack at the Support Point

Almost all cars have designated support points set by each manufacturer. This support point is located at the strongest part of the car's chassis. To maximize its function, place the diamond jack directly under the identified support point. Ensure the jack is stable and does not wobble.

Jack Up the Car Slowly

Use the jack's turning lever to slowly lift the car until the wheel to be replaced is off the ground. Do not lift too high to keep the car stable. Immediately install wheel chocks (jack stands) if available, or temporarily place the removed tire under the car. Do the opposite when the new tire has been replaced.
