ABSTRACT:
A jack for raising an object to an inclined position. A jack particularly adapted for inclining a snowmobile enabling exposure of the underside thereof for maintenance of the snowmobile, and for preventing freezing of the snowmobile track onto a surface during storage of the snowmobile. The jack has a frame, of triangular shape, which is itself supported, at a first end, by a rectangular shaped base. A handle pivots about a second end of the frame, the handle having a hook at a first end, for temporarily engaging the snowmobile, and a grip at a second end. The jack enabling the user to manually push the handle downwardly inclining the snowmobile engaged by the first end of the handle. A cable, having engagement means mounted to the grip end of the handle, provides attachment of the cable to a crosspiece, the crosspiece interconnecting two sides of the triangular shaped frame, for maintaining the snowmobile in an inclined position. The jack, because the frame hinges about the base and the handle pivots about the frame, may by folded in a relatively flat, planar position for storage.
