WARNING!
• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not
be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on
a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
4500/5500 Models
These vehicles do not come equipped with a jack.
NOTE:
Jacking and tire changing on 4500/5500 models should be performed by an
authorized dealer, or knowledgeable service personnel with the appropriate heavy
duty equipment, like a tire service company.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic,
pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the gear selector into PARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE (manual
transmission). On 4-Wheel drive vehicles, shift the transfer case to the “4L” position.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking
position. For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
