2. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve
anticlockwise slowly to lower the ram and re-
move the jack.
3. Press the piston down all the way, and turn
the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
4. Store jack, jack handle and chocks.
WARNING
l Be sure to open the release valve slowly.
If it is opened quickly, the vehicle will
drop abruptly and the jack may come out
of position, causing a serious accident.
CAUTION
l If the release valve is loosened too much
(2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise di-
rection, the jack's oil will leak and the
jack cannot be used.
CAUTION
l
Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.
NOTE
l Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated point
will not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack.
WARNING
l Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.

For emergencies
WARNING
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l
Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.
