Jacking (Armored Vehicles)

Jacking

General

WARNING: Due to the additional weight of the armored vehicle, an hydraulic jack is NOT recommended for lifting. A wheel free lift should always be used.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the underbody components of the vehicle, the following instructions must be adhered to:

CAUTION: Do not position jacks or axle stands under the following components:
- Body structure other than any approved jacking or lifting points
- Bumpers
- Fuel lines
- Fuel tank
- Brake lines
- Front or rear suspension arms
- Steering linkage
- Transfer case
- Front or rear differential units
- Transmission
For certain repair operations, it may be necessary to support the engine under the oil pan. In this case, a block of hardwood or a rubber pad must be positioned on the jack lifting pad to protect the oil pan.

WARNING: Never work under a vehicle supported solely by the vehicle jack.
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended for use in an emergency such as changing a tire. DO NOT use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner's Handbook for the vehicle jack location points and jacking procedures.
