position under the frame closest to the
tire you are changing. The jacking
positions are plates welded to the
frame with two notches. Never jack any
other position or part of the vehicle to
prevent the vehicle slipping off of the
jack or damaging the vehicle.

WARNING
Because the wheels may have sharp
edges, handle them carefully to avoid
possible severe injury. Before putting
the wheel into place, make sure that
there is nothing on the hub or wheel
(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that
interferes with the wheel from fitting
solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good
contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts may come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.
10.Install the spare tire onto the studs of
the hub.
11.Tighten the wheel nuts with your
fingers onto the studs with the smaller
end of the wheel nuts closest to the
wheel.
12.Lower the vehicle to the ground by
turning the jack handle
counterclockwise.
