5.16 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 platform before
raising the vehicle. Loads moving on truck platform
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 5E for
jacking locations.
Shift the transmission into 1st gear or Park 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.

CAUTION
Unless you have the proper training, tools, and
experience DO NOT attempt to mount a tire on a rim.
Improper mounting can produce an explosion which
may result in serious injury.
Installation:
1. Remove dirt, grease, and oil from stud thread. Do not
lubricate threads.
2. Position wheel on hub and inspect to ensure full
contact between mounting surface of wheel and hub
or brake drum. Make sure valve stem is located
towards the outside. Finger tighten all hardware
then torque hardware in criss-cross order always
tightening nuts in the top position.
3. Check and retorque daily until 70-100 ft.lbs. (95-140
Nm) torque is maintained.
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.
