How to Use an Aluminum Magnetic Jack Pad
An aluminum magnetic jack pad helps protect pinch welds, rocker panels, and EV battery trays while lifting a vehicle. Follow this simple guide for safe and secure use.
What You Need
- Aluminum magnetic jack pad
- Floor jack
- Wheel chocks
- Flat, stable surface
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Park and Secure the Vehicle
Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Use wheel chocks to prevent movement.
2. Locate the Jacking Point
Look for the designated jack point under the rocker panel or refer to the vehicle manual. Tesla and BMW have round jack pad holes.
3. Attach the Magnetic Jack Pad
Place the pad onto the jack point. The magnet will lock it in position. Make sure it is fully seated and does not wobble.
4. Position the Floor Jack
Center the jack cup under the pad and align it vertically for secure lifting.
5. Lift the Vehicle Slowly
Pump the jack slowly while watching the pad. Stop and reposition if there is any movement.
6. Lower and Remove the Pad
After finishing service, lower the vehicle carefully and remove the jack pad.
Safety Tips
- Never lift on plastic underbody panels
- Do not drive with the pad attached
- Keep magnets clean and free from debris
- Always use a jack rated for vehicle weight
