.............................................................

Some servicing operations may require the front wheels,

the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle be raised.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or

death from a vehicle falling from a jack:

Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level sur-

face.

Never get under a vehicle while it is supported

by a jack.

Use jack stands and test the stability of the

vehicle on the stands.

Always place chocks in front and behind the

wheels not being raised.

Use extreme care since the vehicle is extreme-

ly unstable during the lifting process.

When lifting vehicle, position jacks and jack stands at

the areas indicated only.

To raise the entire vehicle, install the wheel chocks in

front and behind each front wheel. Center the jack under

the bagwell and place a piece of wood, approximately 2"

x 4" x 12", between the jack and the underside of the

bagwell. Raise the vehicle and position the jack stands

under the frame where the leaf spring mounting bracket

is welded to the frame. (See Fig. 13)

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the

two jack stands.

Place the jack under the center front of the car just be-

hind the bumper. (See Fig. 13) Raise the vehicle and

position the jack stands under the frame where the in-

strument panel support is attached to the frame.

Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all

four jack stands.

To raise only the front or rear of the vehicle, place the

wheel chocks in front and behind the wheels that are not

to be raised. The jack may be left under the center front

of the frame while the front end of the vehicle is on the

jack stands.

Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.
