Always position the jackfrom the front or rear
of the vehicle directlyin line with the jacking
points.

Always use the complete, two piece, jack
lever throughout to minimise any accidental
contact with a hot exhaust system.
Rear jacking point:
Push the mud flap up over the tyre to allow
clear access (return it to its correct position
when the wheel change is complete). Position
the jackso that, when raised, it engages with
the rear axle casing immediatelybelow the coil
spring and as close as possible to the shock
absorber mounting bracket.
ONLYjack the vehicle using the jack
location points described or damage to the
vehicle could occur.
Care of the jack
Occasionally, clean and grease the moving
parts (particularlythe ram/pillar) to prevent
rust.
The bottle jackoil levelshould be checked at
normal servicing intervals and if necessary
topped up with an hydraulic oil with a
viscosityto BS 4231 grade 32 and ISOproof
32.
Front jacking point:
Position the jackso that, when raised, it
engages with the front axle casing
immediatelybelow the coil spring. The jack
cradle must locate between the flange at the
end of the axle casing and the large bracket to
which the front suspension members are

To avoid contamination, the bottle jackshould
always be returned to its fully closed position
