See illustration for proper storage of
jack.
Before storing the jack on the felt in the
spare wheel well, the jack arm (1) must
be lowered almost to the base (2) of the
jack.
Warning!
The jack is designed exclusively for
jacking up the vehicle at the jack
tubes built into either side of the
vehicle. 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. Always 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 when
in use, especially on hills. Always try
to use the jack on level surface. Be
sure that the jack arm is fully
inserted in the jack tube. Lower the
vehicle onto sufficient capacity jack
stands before working under the
vehicle.
