Some servicing operations may require the vehicle to be
raised.
Be aware that the vehicle is extremely unsta-
ble during the lifting process and use caution
accordingly.
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 when the
lifting process begins.
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.
When lifting the vehicle, position jack stands only in
the areas indicated.
To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and
behind each front wheel (Ref. Fig. 2). Center jack under
the rear frame crossmember. Raise vehicle and locate a
jack stand under outer ends of rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
two jack stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the
vehicle and position jack stands under the inner frame
member as indicated.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
four jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place
chocks in front and behind each wheel not being raised in
order to stabilize the vehicle.
Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.
