JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
4500/5500 Models
These vehicles do not come equipped with a jack.
NOTE:
Jacking and tire changing on 4500/5500 models should be performed by an
authorized dealer, or knowledgeable service personnel with the appropriate heavy
duty equipment, like a tire service company.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE (manual
transmission). On 4-Wheel drive vehicles, shift the transfer case to the “4L”
position.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the jacking position.
For example, if the right front wheel is
being changed, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
