Jacking Instructions

The jack is intended for emergency tire changes only.

To prevent the jack from rattling while the vehicle is moving, store it properly.

Follow the jacking instructions to reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING

Tire Replacement

  • Never attempt to repair the vehicle on a public roadway or highway.
  • Always move the vehicle completely from the road to the shoulder before attempting to replace a tire. The jack should be used on a level, firm surface. If you cannot find a firm, level place off the road, call a towing company for assistance.
  • Always use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the vehicle; never use the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle to support the jack.
  • The vehicle may easily slip off the jack, which may result in serious injury or death.
  • Do not get under a vehicle supported by a jack.
  • Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is supported by the jack.
  • Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is supported by the jack.
  • Make sure all children present are kept in a safe place away from the road and from the vehicle being raised with the jack.
