Accord & Acura Series Honda Universal Adapter User Manual
Specially designed adapters are used in conjunction with Universal Anchoring System (UAS) stands and Universal Measuring System (UMS) pinchweld stands when securing vehicles with horizontal pinchwelds and vertical jack tabs in the corners of their center sections. (All Honda / Accord / Acura vehicles excluding Odessey.) These adapters allow the positioning of vertical jack tabs into a slot on the adapter’s top surface, and the attachment of 4 inch clamps to horizontal pinch- welds.
The Honda adapters attach to UAS stands in two ways dependent upon anchoring tube used. Figure 1 shows attachment to the ears of a UAS clamp bar tube. Figure 2 shows attachment to the vertical surface of a UMS adapter tube. Figure 3 shows attachment to the vertical surface of a UMS pinchweld stand. Each illustration shows the Honda adapter in its lowest mounted position.
IMPORTANT: Information on use of anchoring stands (including their attachment to repair system mainframes) appears in the UAS Users Manual and UMS Pinchweld Stand Users Manual.
Spacers are provide with Honda adapters which allow height adjustment of horizontal clamps. The spacers, positioned between top surface of adapter and bottom surface of lower clamp half, are provided in these thicknesses: 1/8” (3.17mm), 1/4” (6.35mm), 1/2” (12.7mm), and 1“ (25.4mm). This manual identifies the correct spacer(s) to use for each Honda / Accord / Acura vehicle. (See following pages.) Use the identified spacer(s) regardless of the anchoring setup and observe the following when applicable.
• When using UMS adapter tubes in UAS stands, use not only the identified spacer(s) but also adjust vehicle’s specified datum height 3/4” (19mm).
• When using UMS pinchweld stands,use not only the identified spacer(s), but also adjust vehicle’s specified datum height 1/2” (12.7mm).
