Elevating the Vehicle for Service
-
Move vehicle to a firm level surface.
-
Shift to PARK (P).
-
Do not leave engine running.
-
Prevent the vehicle from moving by chocking the wheels. A chock is a wedge or wheel stop that is designed to keep the vehicle from moving forward or backward and falling off the jack. If jacking the FRONT of the vehicle, then chock front and rear sides of both REAR tires. If jacking the REAR of the vehicle, then chock front and rear sides of both FRONT tires.
-
Keep bystanders away and make sure no occupants or cargo are still in the vehicle.
-
Use a jack designed for a high ground clearance off-road vehicle (such as the POLARIS Off-Road Utility Jack).
-
Follow the jack manufacturer's instructions.
-
Do not place any object above or under a jack.
-
After lifting vehicle with a jack, never place any part of your body under the vehicle without first properly blocking vehicle using designated support points.
