Some servicing operations may require the front, rear or
the entire vehicle to be raised.
To prevent possible injury or death
resulting from a vehicle falling from
a jack, be sure the vehicle is on a
firm and level surface. Never get under a vehicle
while it is supported by a jack. Use jack stands and
test the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Always place chocks in front and behind the wheels
not being raised. Use extreme care since the vehicle
is extremely unstable during the lifting process.
When lifting the vehicle, position jacks
and jack stands only on the areas
indicated.
To raise the entire vehicle:
1.
Install chocks in front and behind each
front wheel (Ref. Fig. 2).
2. Center the jack under the rear frame
crossmember.
3. Raise the vehicle and place a jack
stand under the outer ends of the rear axle.

the two jack stands.
5. Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise
the vehicle and place jack stands under the frame
crossmember as indicated.
6. Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on
all four jack stands.
7. If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised,
place the chocks in front and behind each wheel not
being raised in order to stabilize the vehicle.
8. Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.
