LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
Use extreme caution lifting or working around lifted
vehicle. Vehicle should be lifted only when parked on
a flat, hard and level surface. Do not work under the
vehicle unless it is firmly supported on jack stands.
When lifting the vehicle for service, use a sturdy lifting
device such as a floor jack or hydraulic lift. Always,
wedge wheels and set parking brake of the vehicle to
keep it from rolling. When using a lifting device, lift
only on sturdy parts under the vehicle, an example
being the frame. When using a floor jack, lift only on
sturdy parts under the vehicle, an example being the
frame or axle housing. Place jack stands or sup-port
blocks under vehicle frame to support vehicle weight
for added safety. Watch for cables, linkages or wire
harness.
If any vehicle is raised while loaded, check that the
load is secured before lifting vehicle. Failure to do so
could cause damage to load, vehicle, or personal
injury. Before lifting, always chock tires. Use care to
prevent tipping or rolling over. Be careful not to
damage the brake cables during lifting operation.
Tools Required
- hydraulic trolley jack
- chocks or wooden blocks
- jack stands or support blocks
Hoist Lifts
If a hoist is used to lift the vehicle, check that the hoist is rated
at a capacity greater than the vehicle weight. Lift the vehicle
sufficiently from the floor, 10° to 25° angle, to allow the
placement of jack stands to support the weight of the vehicle
during service. See figure 3-1.
