Maintenance: Service Precautions

WARNING:
^ DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE WHEN JACKING THE VEHICLE. THE WHEELS CONTACTING THE GROUND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.
^ SUPPORT THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY PROCEDURE REQUIRING THE VEHICLE TO BE JACKED OFF OF THE GROUND.
^ MAKE SURE THE JACK AND JACK STANDS ARE PROPERLY LOCATED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM FALLING.
^ WHEEL CHOCKS SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AND FALLING OFF THE JACK.
^ THE JACK PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY FOR CHANGING A DEFLATED TIRE. NEVER USE THE JACK FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
^ CHECK FOR NECESSARY CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE UNDERBODY OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVE-ON HOIST.

CAUTION: The hoist must only contact all four vehicle contact points. Position the hoist pads so that they are in contact with the pinch welds.
