Some servicing operations may require the front, rear or
the entire vehicle to be raised.
To prevent possible injury or death resulting
from a vehicle falling from a jack, be sure the
vehicle is on a firm and level surface. 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 wheel
chocks in front and behind the wheels not
being raised. Use extreme care since the vehi-
cle is extremely unstable during the lifting pro-
cess.
When lifting the vehicle, position jack stands only in the
areas indicated.
To raise the entire vehicle,
install the wheel chocks in
front and behind each front
wheel. Center the jack
under the bagwell, place a
piece of wood, approxi-
mately 2" x 4" x 12",
between the jack and the
underside of the bagwell,
raise the vehicle and posi-
tion the jack stands under
the frame where the leaf
spring mounting bracket is
welded to the frame.
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
behind the bumper. Raise the vehicle and position the
jack stands under the frame where the instrument panel
support is attached to the frame as shown.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all
four jack stands.
