to perform maintenance procedures. When
doing so, observe the correct safety
precautions:

load.

the vehicle.
4. Disconnect the battery connector.
5. Place the jack under the designated
jacking points. See Figure 2-2.
Use extreme care when the truck is
jacked up. Keep hands and feet
clear from vehicle while jacking the

solid blocks beneath it to support it.
DO NOT rely on the jack alone to
support the truck.
