chock 1 and another sizable, heavy
object.

face:
Place one chock in front of and
another sizeable, heavy object be-
hind the wheel that is diagonally
opposite to the wheel being
changed.
When changing wheel on a hill:
Place chock and another sizeable,
heavy object on the downhill side
blocking both wheels of the axle
not being worked on.

semble wheel wrench.
On wheel to be changed, loosen but

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.
