LIFTING THE VEHICLE
Tool List Qty. Required
Floor jack.....................................................................1
Jack stands ................................................................. 4
Chocks ........................................................................ 4
To prevent possible injury or
death resulting from a vehi-
cle 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.
Some servicing operations may require the rear wheels
or the entire vehicle be raised.
Install chocks in front and behind each front wheel (Ref
Fig. 21 on page 14). Center jack under rear bumper.
Raise vehicle and locate a jack stand under the outer
end of each rear axle.
Lower jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the two
jack stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the
vehicle and position jack stands under the frame cross-
member as indicated.
Lower jack and test the stability of vehicle on the four
jack stands.
If only front or rear of vehicle is to be raised, place the
chocks in front and behind each wheel not being raised
in order to stabilize the vehicle.
Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, provid-
ing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Periodic
Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals (Ref
Fig. 43 on page 23). Refer to Lubrication Points (Ref Fig.
22 on page 15) for lubrication locations.
Do not use more than three (3) pumps of
grease in each grease fitting at any one
time. Excess grease may cause grease seals to fail or grease
migration into areas that could damage components.
Some maintenance items must be serviced more
frequently on vehicles used under severe driving
conditions.
POWERTRAIN MAINTENANCE
Access the powertrain by raising or removing seat. Addi-
tional access may be obtained by raising or removing the
load bed.
To prevent severe personal
injury or death, observe the
following:
Always install a positive stop to prevent load bed
from unexpectedly falling.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl tape to prevent the pos-
sibility of a dropped wrench ‘shorting out’ a bat-
tery, which could result in an explosion.
Prevent accidental starting by removing and
grounding spark plug wires and disconnecting
battery at negative terminal before servicing.
Some service procedures may require vehicle be lifted.
Refer to LIFTING THE VEHICLE for proper lifting proce-
dure and safety information.
