Make sure to set the jack properly in the jacking point. Raising
the vehicle with improperly positioned jack will damage the
underbody of vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack
and cause personal injury.
•
Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel
changing
•
Do not raise the jack with someone in the vehicle.
•
When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of
or underneath the jack.
•
Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change
the wheel.
•
Follow jacking instructions
•
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
supported by the jack.
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by
the jack alone.
Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tire straight off and place it
aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the
wheel with the bolts. Lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt
started through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and press it back over
the other bolts.
Re-install the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by
hand. Press the wheel inward and tighten the wheel nuts further.
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead
to over tightening the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage the
bolts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may
loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean before
installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite
wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle
extension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower the
vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack
handle extension. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally
opposite order. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do
not use other tools or any additional leverage other than your
hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The
wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of
vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always make sure
