SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
•
Position the jack as close as possible to the front axle.
•
The wood block should be as thick as possible in order to improve stability.
•
As the bottom of the leaf spring is curved, special care must be taken during
the jacking operation. Slipping of the jack can lead to extremely dangerous
situations such as entrapment beneath the vehicle.

Jacking cannot be performed using the
normal jacking points in the case of a
flat front tyre. You must use the following
procedures using a wood block or the
equivalent.
1. Apply wheel chocks in front of and
behind the rear wheels.
2. Apply the jack to the bottom of the
leaf spring in front of the front axle,
and jack up the vehicle.
3. Insert the wood block under the front
axle.
4. Lower the jack slightly to confirm
whether the front axle is being
supported securely by the wood block.
If so, continue lowering the jack.
5. Next, move the jack to the specified
jacking point and jack up the vehicle
to the necessary height for wheel
removal.
