Vehicle Hoisting and Jacking Points

WARNING: TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT PUT ANY PORTION OF YOUR BODY UNDER THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON THE JACK. THE JACK IS PROVIDED FOR EMERGENCY WHEEL AND TIRE CHANGING ONLY.

WARNING: NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITH ONE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND, SUCH AS WHEN CHANGING A TIRE. THE WHEELS STILL ON THE GROUND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.

CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with an under-chassis mounted spare tire, remove the tire, wheel or tire carrier from the vehicle before it is placed in a high lift position in order to avoid sudden weight release from the chassis.

CAUTION: Do not use the differential housing as a lift point. Leaks or damage to the rear axle cover and adjoining differential housing surface can occur if a floor jack or any lifting device is allowed to contact the cover at any point where the cover joins the housing.

When lifting a vehicle with the vehicle jack or any floor jack, block the diagonally opposite wheel to prevent vehicle from moving.

To raise heavy vehicles with floor jacks, follow the jack manufacturer's recommendations for placement of jack. Do not exceed the rated lift capacity of any jack.
