Release the tool bag straps from the jack and
remove tools from bag.
There are two ways to assemble the tools:
Assembled For Spare Tire Lowering/Raising
NOTE:
If the tailgate is lowered, the jack extension
with hook can be added to this assembly to
enable lowering of the spare tire without
having to raise the tailgate.
CAUTION!
• The lug wrench can only be attached to
extension 2.
• When attaching the tool to the winch
mechanism be sure the large flared end
opening on extension 4 is positioned
correctly over the winch mechanism ad-
justing nut.
• Damage to the lug wrench, extensions
and winch mechanism may occur from
improper tool assembly.
Assembled For Jack Operation
WARNING!
After using the jack and tools, always rein-
stall them in the original carrier and loca-
tion. While driving you may experience
abrupt stopping, rapid acceleration or sharp
turns. A loose jack, tools, bracket or other
objects in the vehicle may move around with
force, resulting in serious injury.
Removing The Spare Tire
1. Remove the spare tire before attempting
to jack up the truck. Attach the lug
wrench to the extension tubes with the
curved angle facing away from the
vehicle.
2. Remove the protective cover over the ac-
cess hole for the winch mechanism by
sliding the cover upward.
3. Insert the extension tube through the ac-
cess hole between the lower tailgate and
the top of the bumper and into the winch
mechanism tube.
4. Rotate the lug wrench handle counter-
clockwise until the spare tire is on the
ground with enough cable slack to allow
you to pull it out from under the vehicle.
5. Pull the spare tire out from under the
vehicle to gain access to the spare tire
retainer.
6. Lift the spare tire with one hand to give
clearance to tilt the retainer at the end of
the cable.
