WARNING
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
L IFTING THE V EHICLE
To prevent possible injury
or death resulting from a
vehicle falling from a jack, be
sure the vehicle is on a firm
and level surface. Never go
beneath a vehicle while it is
supported by a crane or jack.
Use jack stands and test the
stability of the vehicle. Always
place chocks in front and
behind the wheels not being
raised. Use extreme care when
lifting due to the 3-point wheel
design which is extremely
unstable
when lifting,
especially lifting the rear.
The vehicle should only be lifted high enough to remove the
front axle or rear wheels. Position jacks and jack stands only
on the areas indicated (Figure 15).

locations indicated and slowly lower the vehicle to rest on
the jack stands and test the stability of the vehicle.
Lifting the rear: To remove a rear wheel or axle: First raise
the front of the vehicle as previously described and support
on jack stands. Then position the jack in the position
indicated at the rear of the vehicle. Carefully raise the rear
