MAINTENANCE
Some servicing operations may require the front wheel, the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle to be raised.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from a vehicle falling from a jack:
Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level surface.
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported by a jack.
Use jack stands and test the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Always place chocks in front and behind the wheels not being raised.
Use extreme care since the vehicle is extremely unstable during the lifting process.
Never attempt to raise the rear wheels of a three wheel vehicle without first raising the front of the vehicle and
supporting on jack stands.
When lifting the vehicle, position the jacks and jack stands at the areas indicated only. Refer to the diagram
below.
LIFTING THE VEHICLE
Tool List
• Floor Jack
• Jack Stands
• Wheel Chocks
• Chain hoist
Remove payload from vehicle before lifting. No per-
son(s) should be in or on the vehicle while lifting. To
raise the vehicle, turn key to off, remove key and install
chocks in front of and behind each wheel. Center the
jack under the edge of the body where shown. Raise
the vehicle and place a jack stands under the outer
edges of the body. Check vehicle for stability.
WHEELS AND TIRES
A tire explosion can cause severe injury or death.
Never exceed the inflation pressure rating on the
tire sidewall.
To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pressur-
ize tire with small amounts of air applied intermit-
tently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of the
small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds.
Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion when seating a bead. Protect face and eyes
from escaping air when removing a valve core.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by
a broken socket when removing wheels, use only
sockets designed for impact wrench use.
Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the
tire to explode, either of which could cause severe injury.
