How to Use the Jack for the Magotan?
2 Answers
The method for using the jack on the Magotan is as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on a flat, solid surface and engage the handbrake; 2. Locate the designated jack support points on the vehicle's chassis and position the jack directly beneath them; 3. Use the jack's crank to turn the screw in a clockwise direction; 4. As the jack approaches the vehicle's support point, ensure it is correctly aligned; 5. After confirming proper alignment, continue turning the screw to lift the vehicle. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, a wheelbase of 2871mm, and a curb weight of 1445kg.
Before using the Magotan's jack, I will ensure the car is turned off, the handbrake is engaged, and it is parked on level ground to prevent sliding and potential hazards. The jack is usually located next to the spare tire in the trunk—first, take it out and check for any looseness or damage. Locate the jacking point on the vehicle body (typically small notches on the front and rear frames) and use the accompanying wrench to slightly loosen the wheel bolts by one turn. Then, position the jack's lifting post under that point and slowly pump the handle to raise the car until the tire is slightly off the ground. During this process, keep your body away from the car to avoid injury in case of collapse. After changing the tire, slowly lower the jack and tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern. Finally, when storing the tools, remember to wipe them clean to prevent rust. Regularly inspecting the jack's condition can help avoid last-minute failures.
