Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation

JACKING AND LIFTING

WARNING:
- Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally lower. Always support vehicle with floor stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
- Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on an uneven or soft surface may result in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
- When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking brake if the rear wheels will remain on the ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
- Position the hoist lift arms as shown in the illustration. Incorrect positioning could result in vehicle slipping or falling from the hoist. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION:
- Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack.
- Position the jack to avoid contact with the fuel tank.

Jacking Points - Front

CAUTION: Do not use the control arm as a jacking point. Damage to the vehicle may occur.












The jacking point is a flat portion on the frame, located behind the front tire and wheel assembly.

Jacking Points - Rear

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







The rear jacking points are located on the rear axle.
