WARNING!
After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in
the original carrier and location. While driving you
may experience abrupt stopping, rapid acceleration
or sharp turns. A loose jack, tools, bracket or other
objects in the vehicle may move around with force,
resulting in serious injury.
REMOVING THE SPARE TIRE
1. Remove the spare tire before attempting to jack up
the truck. Attach the lug wrench to the extension
tubes with the curved angle facing away from the
vehicle. Insert the extension tube through the
access hole between the lower tailgate and the top
of the bumper and into the winch mechanism tube.
