HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Refer to the Owner's Manual for emergency vehicle
lifting procedures.
FLOOR JACK
When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used
to lift a Jeep vehicle (Fig. 2 and 3). Support the ve-
hicle in the raised position with jack stands at the
front and rear ends of the frame rails.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift a Jeep vehicle with
a floor jack positioned under:
²An axle tube.
²A body side sill.
²A steering linkage component.
²A drive shaft.
²The engine or transmission oil pan.
²The fuel tank.
²A front suspension arm.
Use the correct sub-frame rail or frame rail
lifting locations only (Fig. 2 and 3).
HOIST
A vehicle can be lifted with:
²A single-post, frame-contact hoist.
²A twin-post, chassis hoist.
²A ramp-type, drive-on hoist.
When a frame-contact type hoist is used, ver-
ify that the lifting pads are positioned properly
(Fig. 2 and 3).WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING
POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHI-
CLE. WHEN A CHASSIS OR DRIVETRAIN COMPO-
NENT IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE
CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME
HOISTING CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY
SUPPORT OR SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DE-
VICE WHEN THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.
TOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
A vehicle equipped with SAE approved sling-type
towing equipment can be used to tow all Jeep vehi-
cles. When towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift
towing device, use a tow dolly under the opposite end
of the vehicle. A vehicle with flat-bed device can also
be used to transport a disabled vehicle (Fig. 4).
A wooden crossbeam may be required for proper
connection when using the sling-type, front-end tow-
ing method.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
²Secure loose and protruding parts.
²Always use a safety chain system that is indepen-
dent of the lifting and towing equipment.
²Do not allow towing equipment to contact the dis-
abled vehicle's fuel tank.
²Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle
while it is lifted by the towing device.
