You can never be too careful when you are about to crawl under a car. Even though the 914 is only 2,000 pounds....I can't lift it if it falls on me. I have a scissor lift and even when using it I always rest it on the steel locks and never leave it on the hydraulics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Or should you add jack stands as a secondary back up? |

I have a QuickJack and qlways use stands as a backup. Worth it for the peace of mind and extra margin of safety. |
