Warning!

The jack is designed exclusively for

jacking up the vehicle at the jack

tubes built into either side of the

vehicle. To help avoid personal injury,

use the jack only to lift the vehicle

during a wheel change. Never get

beneath the vehicle while it is

supported by the jack. Keep hands

and feet away from the area under the

lifted vehicle. Always firmly set

parking brake and block wheels

before raising vehicle with jack.

Do not disengage parking brake while

the vehicle is raised. Be certain that

the jack is always vertical when in use,

especially on hills. Always try to use

the jack on level surface. Be sure that

the jack arm is fully inserted in the

jack tube. Always lower the vehicle

onto sufficient capacity jackstands

before working under the vehicle.

Changing Wheels

Move vehicle to a level area which is a

safe distance from the roadway.

1.

Set parking brake and turn on

hazard warning flasher.

2.

Move selector lever to position

"P" and turn off engine.

3.

Prevent vehicle from rolling

away by blocking wheels with

wheel chocks (not supplied with

vehicle) or sizable wood block

or stone. When changing a

wheel on a hill, place chocks on

the downhill side blocking both

wheels of the other axle. On a

level road, place one chock in

front of and one behind the

wheel that is diagonally opposite

to the wheel being changed.

4. Using the wrench, loosen but do

not yet remove the wheel bolts.
