Preparing for a wheel change
1. Read carefully and comply with the safety
precautions on page 215.
2. Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling:
Place the wheel chock against the rear sur-
face of the front tire on the side opposite the
side being raised. If the vehicle is parked on
a downward slope, place the wheel chock
securely in front of the tire. On a steep
grade, take additional precautions to secure
the vehicle against rolling.
3. Loosen the lug bolts a half turn.
Lifting vehicle
1. Position the jack at the jacking point closest
to the wheel so that the entire jack base
makes contact vertically under the jacking
point.
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not attempt
to raise another vehicle model with it or to
raise any load of any kind. To do so could
cause accidents and personal injury.<
