Try to refrain from working under heavy objects. When this can't be avoided be sure to firmly support it. When working under a vehicle that has to be jacked up be sure to support the weight with jack stands or ramps designed to support the weight of the vehicle. Do not use the jack as the sole means of support. Always work on a solid, level surface and block the wheels to ensure the vehicle doesn't roll or fall off the supports. | Try to refrain from working under heavy objects.
