the protective plate until it is directly under

NOTE:
Double check to ensure the tire is snug against
the underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the
winch cable may result if the vehicle is driven
with the tire loose.
13. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut
torque with a torque wrench to ensure that
all lug nuts are properly seated against the
wheel.
14. Lower the jack to the fully closed position.
Return the tools to the proper positions in
the tool bag. Fold the flap on the tool bag
under the tools and roll the tools in the bag
underneath the others. Use the hook and
loop fasteners to secure the tool bag to the
jack with the lug wrench on the forward side
of the jack. Expand the jack on the bracket
by turning the thumb screw clockwise until
it is tight to prevent rattles.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use
with the jack wrench extension tool only.
Use of air wrench or power tool may damage
the winch.
