seated on component 2. This will make it easier to rotate
the assembly when operating the winch mechanism.

2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive
nut located in the jack storage area. Rotate the jack-
handle assembly counterclockwise until the spare tire is
on the ground with enough cable slack to allow you to
pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle.

CAUTION!

The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack-handle only. Use of an air wrench or other power
tools is not recommended and it can damage the
winch.

3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and
raise it upright so the tire’s tread is on the ground.

4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and
remove it from the center of the wheel.
