LIFTING THE VEHICLE
To prevent possible inju-
ry or d e at h result ing
from a vehicle falling
from a jack, be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level
surface. Never get under a vehicle while it is support-
ed by a jack. Use jack stands and test the stability of
the vehicle 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 the vehicle, position jacks
and jack stands only on the areas indi-
cated.

Some servicing operations may require the front, rear or
the entire vehicle to be raised.
To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and
behind each front wheel (Ref Fig. 2 on page B-8). Center
the jack under the rear axle. Raise the vehicle and locate
a jack stand under the outer ends of the rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
two jack stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the
vehicle and position jack stands under the frame cross-
member as indicated.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all
four jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place
the chocks in front and behind each wheel not being
raised in order to stabilize the vehicle.
Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.
