Lift and Support Points

POST TYPE HOIST





Special care should be taken when raising the vehicle on a frame contact type hoist. The hoist must be equipped with the proper adapters in order to support the vehicle at the proper locations.

CAUTION: When service procedures require removing rear suspension, fuel tank, spare tire and lift gate, place additional weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle to hoist to prevent tipping due to change in the center of gravity.

FLOOR JACK
The usual type of floor jack is used at the following locations.





Front:
Under the mid point of centermember
Under the mid point of crossmember

Rear:
Under the jack up bracket of rear floor pan
Under the rear differential

CAUTIONS:
1. Never use a jack at the lateral rod or rear suspension assembly.
2. In order to prevent scarring the centermember or crossmember , place a piece of cloth on the jack's contact surface (to prevent corrosion caused by damage to the coating).
3. A floor jack must never be used on any part of the underbody.
4. Do not attempt to raise one entire side of the vehicle by placing a jack midway between front and rear wheels. This practice may result in permanent damage to the body.

EMERGENCY JACKING
Jack receptacles are located at the body sills to accept the scissors jack supplied with the vehicle for emergency road service. Always block opposite wheels and jack on level surface.
