NOTE:

Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the

small ball at the end of component 2 in the small hole at
the end of component 3. This will lock these components
together. Assemble components 1 and 2 so that the wheel
nut socket at the end of component 1 faces upward when
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.
