first R.H. side baggage compartment, attached
to the forward bulkhead of the compartment.

o
12 ton bottle jack;
o
Bumper wrench;
o
Wheel nut wrench and lever.
SPARE PARTS KIT
The vehicle may be equipped with a spare parts
kit (optional). The kit contains parts such as
bulbs, circuit breakers, belts, etc. The spare
parts kit is stored in the first baggage
compartment.
CHANGING WHEELS
In case of a flat tire, turn ON the hazard flashers
and bring the vehicle to a stop on the side of the
road. Apply the parking brake. Make sure the
vehicle is parked safely away from traffic. Set up
the triangular reflectors in accordance with
applicable highway regulations.
We suggest that you do not attempt to change a
wheel. First, the wheel and tire are very heavy
and usually there is no space available to put
the removed flat. Second, the wheel nuts,
especially those on inner dual, can become very
tight after being on for only a short time. Often a
heavy air wrench is required to get these nuts
loose. We suggest you get help via CB radio or
cellular phone. There are tire service trucks all
over the country that can bring a wheel and
make the change safely.
JACKING POINTS
Twelve jacking points are located on the vehicle:
three are located on each side of the frame and
each axle has two jacking points. Refer to the
following illustrations for the location of jacking
points.
