Exactly what are you assembling?
how to lift the machine depends on what your trying to do, what type of machine it is, how much it weighs, etc.

Identify a Lift Point, Prepare the Load for Lifting, and Chock Wheels
Before lifting a forklift with the jack, you need to identify a lift point and prepare the load for lifting.
1. Remove any load from the forks of the forklift and lower the forks to the ground.
2. Identify a lift point at the rear or side of the forklift.
WARNING! When selecting a lift point, it is very important that you consider the following:
* Position the jack so that, as the forklift is lifted, the load will be balanced on the forklift tires that remain on the ground.
* When raising a forklift from one end, always chock the wheels that will remain on the ground.
* Make sure at least two wheels of the forklift remain in contact with the floor at all times. NEVER raise a 3-wheeled forklift from the 2-wheeled end or from the side. NEVER use the jack to raise all four wheels of the forklift from the floor. NEVER raise the forklift higher than 1/4 its tread width

I learn new concepts and acquire new skills reasonably fast.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
