from a jack:
Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level surface.
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported by
a jack.
Use jack stands and test the stability of the vehi-
cle on the stands.
Always place chocks in front and behind the
wheels not being raised.
Use extreme care since the vehicle is extremely
unstable during the lifting process.
When lifting vehicle, position jacks and
jack stands at the areas indicated only.
To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and
behind each front wheel (Ref. Fig. 17 on page 12). Cen-
ter the jack under the rear frame crossmember. Raise the
vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer
ends of the rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the

inflation pressure rating on tire sidewall.
To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pres-
surize tire with small amount of air applied inter-
mittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of
the small tires, overinflation can occur in sec-
onds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer's rec-
ommendation when seating a bead. Protect face
and eyes from escaping air when removing valve
core.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused
by a broken socket when removing wheels, use
only sockets designed for impact wrench use.
Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation
could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or
cause the tire to explode, either of which could
cause severe injury.
