5 MAINTENANCE

5.18 RAISING THE VEHICLE_____________________________________________________

!
WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is parked on a solid and level
surface. Never work on a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack. Always use jack stands.
Whenever possible empty the truck bed before raising
the vehicle. Loads moving inside the bed can cause
an unbalanced load that could tip the vehicle.
Never raise the vehicle with the engine running or with
a person sitting in the operator's seat.
Always block the tire diagonally opposite the tire being
raised.
Never place hands, feet, or any part of your body
under the vehicle when raising it with a hoist or if
vehicle is not properly supported by jack stands.
A scissors type jack or a floor jack with a 1-1/2 ton
(minimum) capacity that can be lowered to a height of
3-3/8 in. (86 mm) is required. Refer to Figure 5G for
jacking locations.
Shift the transmission into 1st gear (manual) or Park
(automatic) and apply the parking brake. Chock or block
the tire diagonally opposite the side being raised. Raise
the vehicle only enough to perform maintenance
required.
Jack the vehicle to an appropriate height and place jack
stands or equivalent support beneath the frame near the
jack. Lower the jack and allow the vehicle to rest on jack
stands. Do not remove jack.
When using a hoist to raise the vehicle use the same
procedure for supporting the frame and blocking the tires
as you would when using a jack.
To prevent damage to the vehicle or attached accessory
never use a hoist to raise only one corner of the vehicle.
Always raise BOTH front or rear corners equally.
