objects.

face:

ject behind the wheel that is diag-
onally opposite to the wheel

do so on a hill, place the wheel chock
and the other sizeable, heavy object
as follows:
왘 Place wheel chock 1 and another
sizeable suitable object on the

wheels of the axle not being
worked on.

do not yet remove the wheel bolts

behind the front wheel housings and in
front of the rear wheel housings.
Warning! G
The jack is designed exclusively for jacking
up the vehicle at the jack support tube
hole built into 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. Al-
ways 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 (plumb line) when in use,
especially on hills. Always try to use the
jack on level surface. Make sure the jack
arm is fully seated in the jack support tube
hole. Always lower the vehicle onto suffi-
cient capacity jackstands before working
under the vehicle.
