3. Place the wrench handle and lug bolt
adapter on the jack screw and turn to the
right until the jack head is properly en-
gaged in the described location. Do not
raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack
is securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the right, using the wrench
handle and lug bolt adapter. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is obtained
to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
5. Remove the wheel lug bolts. For vehicles
with wheel covers, remove the cover from
the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel
cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the spare tire. Lightly tighten the
wheel lug bolts.
Mounting Spare Tire
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.
NOTE:
Do not install the wheel cover on the spare
tire.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the left.
8. Refer to "Wheel And Tire Torque Specifi-
cations" in "Technical Specifications" for
proper wheel lug bolt torque.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
10. Stow the damaged wheel/spare tire with
the cable and wheel spacer before driv-
ing the vehicle.
11. Install the winch extension and rotate the
wrench handle clockwise until the winch
mechanism operator hears "3 clicks" from
the device to indicate the wheel is properly
stowed under the vehicle.
