dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
and seek service as soon as possible.
Tire Change Procedure WARNING:
Do not work on your
vehicle when the jack is the only support
as your vehicle could slip off the jack.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
To help prevent your
vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park
(P), set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel
chock on the right rear wheel. 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. WARNING:
Always use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. If you are unsure if the jack
capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer. WARNING: No person should place
any portion of their body under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack. WARNING:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
wheels. Do not use the vehicle jack other
than when you are changing a wheel in
an emergency. WARNING:
The jack should be
used on level firm ground wherever
possible. WARNING: Check that the vehicle
jack is not damaged or deformed and
the thread is lubricated and clean.

WARNING: Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and the ground. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your
vehicle. WARNING: It is recommended that
the wheels of the vehicle be chocked,
and that no person should remain in a
vehicle that is being jacked. WARNING:
Switch off the running
boards before jacking or placing any
object under your vehicle. Never place
your hand between the extended running
board and your vehicle. A moving running
board may cause injury.
Note: Only use the spare tire carrier to stow
the tire and wheel combination provided
with your vehicle. Other tire and wheel
combinations can cause the tire carrier to
fail.
Note: Do not use impact tools or power
tools operating at over 200 RPM on the
spare tire carrier, this may cause a winch
malfunction and prevent a secure fit.
Override the winch at least three times,
there's an audible click each time, to make
sure the wheel and tire have been tightened
securely.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Park on a level surface, activate the hazard
flashers and set the parking brake. Then,
place the transmission in park (P) and turn
the engine off.

the tire is lowered to the ground and
the cable is slightly slack to allow the
tire to be slid rearward from under the
vehicle.
5. Remove the retainer from the center of the wheel. 6. Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire.
For example, if the left front tire is flat,
block the right rear wheel.

Front Jacking Points
Note:
Use the frame rail as the front jacking
location point, not the control arm. The
frame rail is marked with an arrow. Rear Jacking Points
Note:
Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damage to the vehicle.
1. Place the vehicle jack at the jacking point next to the tire you are changing.
Turn the jack handle clockwise until
the wheel is completely off the ground.
2. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
3. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered.
4. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
419
F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, Third-Printing- Wheels and TiresE183709 E272477

5. Remove the vehicle jack and fully
tighten the lug nuts in the order shown.
See Technical Specifications (page
422).
6. Stow the flat tire. See the Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire.
7. Stow the vehicle jack and lug wrench. Make sure the jack is securely fastened
before you drive. See Stowing the
Vehicle Jack and Tool Bag.
8. Unblock the wheels. Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Note:
Failure to follow the spare tire
stowage instructions may result in failure of
the cable or loss of the spare tire.
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up.
2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cable to
align the components at the end of the
cable.
3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly and the spare tire carrier
ratchets or slips when the tire is raised
to the maximum tightness. Tighten to the best of your ability, to the point
where the ratchet or slip occurs, if
possible. The spare tire carrier does not
allow you to overtighten. If the spare
tire carrier ratchets or slips with little
effort, contact your authorized dealer.
4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame and is properly tightened. Try to
push or pull, then turn the tire to be
sure it does not move. Loosen and
retighten, if necessary. Failure to
properly stow the spare tire may result
in failure of the winch cable and loss
of the tire.
5. Repeat this tightness check procedure
when servicing the spare tire pressure,
every six months, as per your scheduled
maintenance information, or at any
time that the spare tire is disturbed
through service of other components.
6. If removed, install the spare tire lock into the bumper drive tube with the
spare tire lock key and jack handle.
Stowing the Vehicle Jack and Tool
Bag 1. Adjust the jack up or down by rotating
the lead screw located on the end of
the jack. The stowage markings should
line up with the bottom channel.
