WARNING
–
• The jack should be placed on flat, solid ground, and should not
be used to raise the vehicle higher than necessary.
• Do not use the jack at vehicle locations other than those illus-
trated.
• Keep in mind the danger of a slipping jack. Never crawl under the
vehicle while the jack is in use or rock the vehicle. Also, do not
start the engine while the vehicle is jacked up.
• To increase safety, use supports for the vehicle when it is neces-
sary to leave it jacked up for long periods.
• Chock both the tire to be removed and the tire diagonally oppo-
site to it so that they will not rotate when you are removing the
tire.
• Loosen wheel nuts 2 slightly. The wheel nuts for right tires C have
right-hand threads “R”, and the wheel nuts for left tires D have left-
hand threads “L”.
WARNING
–
Make certain that wheel nut wrench E is fully engaged, all the way
to the back of nuts 2. If it is not, it could slip.
CAUTION
–
Only loosen wheel nuts 2 slightly. Do not remove them.
• Jack up the vehicle carefully, until the tire is slightly off the ground.
Remove wheel nuts 2, then remove the tire.
• When working on the double tires at the rear of the vehicle, first
remove the outside tire, then lower the vehicle and loosen the nuts on
the inside tire. After doing this, jack the vehicle back up and remove
the tire.
