I have the vovlo factory pole jack. From what I've read they didn't switch to scissor Jacks until a few years after mine. (1982) forgot To mention I don't have an owners manual and looking for the manual or instructions online proved fruitless.
I have actually used the "next generation" of this style jack where the body of the jack is designed to sit at an angle away from the vehicle while the foot stays horizontally planted on the ground with no pivoting. The arm then swings up at another angle and meets the car and takes it straight up.
But with this jack, I am failing to see how it is supposed to bring the car up without the jack resting against the body of the car, thereby damaging it once a load is applied.
