WARNING!

After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them
in the original carrier and location. While driving
you may experience, abrupt stopping, rapid accelera-
tion, or sharp turns. A loose jack, tools, bracket or
other objects in the vehicle may move around with
force, resulting in serious injury.

JACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Removing The Spare Tire

Remove the spare tire before attempting to jack the truck.
Attach the wheel wrench to the jack extension tube. Insert
the tube through the access hole between the lower
tailgate and the top of the bumper and into the winch
mechanism tube. Rotate the wheel wrench handle coun-
terclockwise until the spare tire is on the ground with
enough cable slack to allow you to pull it out from under

the vehicle. When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the
end of the cable and pull it through the center of the
wheel.

It is recommended that you stow the flat or spare to
avoid tangling the loose cable.
