Placement of the jack under the
vehicle:
– The attachment points for placement of
the jack are located in the covering of
the lower side rail at the points shown
by the arrows in the drawing.
These attachment points are equipped
with a reinforcement that also permits
them to be recognized.
They are fitted, front and rear, at some 21
cm and 33 cm, respectively, from the cor-
responding wheel arch.
If the jack is not placed at these
points, the vehicle may be damaged.
– Wind jack arm up by turning the handle
until it can just be inserted under the
vehicle.
– The claw of the jack must fit round the
vertical rib of the side member so that it
cannot slip when the vehicle is lifted
(see the figure).
– If the ground is soft, a suitably large and
strong packing should be placed under
the jack base plate.
– Set the jack into position and, at the
same time, wind claw up until it sets on
the vertical rib.
•
Lift the vehicle until the defective wheel
is clear off ground.
