For emergencies
Using the jack handle, turn the release valve
anticlockwise slowly to lower the vehicle un-
til the tyre touches the ground.
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.
11. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps un-
6
til each nut has been tightened securely.

Tightening torque
105 to 125 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 390 to
460 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench
supplied with the vehicle.)
CAUTION
l
Never use your foot or a pipe extension
for extra force in the wheel nut wrench.
If you do so, you will tighten the nut too
much.
12. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
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.
13. Press the piston down all the way, and turn
the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
