IN AN EMERGENCY

Please note:
– The jack requires no adjustments.
– The jack cannot be repaired. If it

breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack.

– No tool, other than its handle, in-

dicated in this chapter, can be fitted
onto the jack.

CHANGING THE WHEEL

1) Loosen the wheel bolts on the

wheel to be changed by approximately
one turn fig. 4.

2) Turn the jack handle so that the

jack opens partially.

3) Position the jack near the wheel

to be changed.

4) Ensure that grooves A-fig. 5 in

the jack fits properly into the side-
member B.

5) Warn any people present that the

vehicle is about to be raised; make
sure they keep at a safe distance and
do not touch the car until it is low-
ered once more.

6) Insert the handle in the jack and

turn it until the wheel to be changed
lifts a few centimetres off the ground.
When turning the handle make sure it
rotates freely without danger of graz-
ing your hands on the ground. Also
the moving parts of the jack (screws
and joints) can cause injury: do not
touch them. Clean yourself up if you
are soiled with lubricating grease.

7) Remove the wheel cap having re-

moved the three bolts securing it.
Then loosen the fourth bolt A-fig. 6
and remove the wheel.
