Replacing the tire

1. Assemble the jack handle sections together and lock into jack. Use the
jack handle to slide the jack under the vehicle.
To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start the
engine when your vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only meant for
changing the tire.
2. Position the jack to raise the front or rear wheel.
