LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
w CAUTION:
• • If a lifting device other than the original jack is used, it is most important that the device be applied only to
the correct lifting points. Raising the vehicle
from any other point may result in serious damage.
• When jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rail or other prescribed lift points, be certain that lift pads
do not contact the catalytic converter, brake pipes or cables, or fuel lines. Such contact may result in dam
age
or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.
