Car lifting jack (Focus Turnier 1)

Ford equips the Focus as standard with a jack of the tong type, which is installed in specially prepared places under the door channels. The correct "lifting points" are pressed into the channels at the front and rear. If you drive a model with side mudguards, you must first remove the mudguard cover, to do this, simply press the cover up and outward at the bottom edge and remove. For most small jobs, the lifting height of the side jack is quite sufficient. You can slightly increase the lifting height with a reliable lining between the base of the jack and the supporting surface, if necessary. You should always put a small board underneath. In this case, the jack will be more stable, its support will not be pressed into the ground. But be careful: the jack is designed only for lifting the car, it is in no way a substitute for a stable and immobile work platform.



Installed only under the door channel: side jack.

Reliable substitution tripods

Even if you are in a hurry when working under the car, never support the Focus with just a jack: in the worst case, you will pay for your courage with your life. Tripod stands are absolutely reliable and are sold in different sizes and models. Two tripods are enough for most repairs. When buying, you should decide in favor of practical designs with three folding supports. In doing so, pay attention to the GS test mark and the load-bearing capacity suitable for your Focus.





If the support tripod 2 is correctly positioned under the vehicle, the extendable column 1 is pulled out to the required height and fixed in the nearest hole with the safety pin 3. Then carefully lower the vehicle so that the receiving surface is positioned correctly on the vehicle.
