A CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
A CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall.
To help avoid personal
injury and vehicle damage, be sure to
fit the jack
lift head into the proper location before raising
the vehicle.

wrench to the jack, and
rotate the wrench to the
right to raise the jack
head a few inches.
6. Raise the vehicle by rotating the folding wrench to
the right in the jack. Raise the vehicle far enough
off
the ground so there is enough room for the spare tire
to fit.
