6.18 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 the jack. Always use jack stands.
Whenever possible empty the sprayer tank before raising
the vehicle. Liquid moving inside the tank 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 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 3-3/8" (86
mm) height is required. Refer to figure for jacking
locations.
Shift the transmission into 1st gear 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 the 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.

lubricate threads.

hardware in criss-cross order; always tighten nuts in
the top position.

procedure for supporting the frame and blocking the tires
as you would when using a jack.
