CAUTION
Getting under a vehicle when it
is jacked up is dangerous. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed.
No person should place any
portion of their body under a
vehicle when it is supported
only by a jack.
CAUTION
Raising your vehicle with the
jack improperly positioned can
damage the vehicle or may
allow the vehicle to fall off the
jack. To avoid personal injury
and vehicle damage, be sure to
fit the jack lift head into the
proper location before raising
the vehicle.
6. Raise the vehicle off the
ground until there is room for
the spare tire to fit.
7. Remove the wheel nuts and
take off the tire.
8. Remove any dirt or rust from
the wheel bolts, mounting
surfaces and spare wheel.
CAUTION
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on
the parts to which it is fastened,
can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When you change
a wheel, remove any rust or dirt
from the places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, you could use a
cloth or a paper towel to do
this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if necessary,
to get all the rust or dirt off.
