Where to Position the Jack?
1 Answers
Position the jack on the raised section of the side rail closest to the tire being replaced. Before lifting, align the grooved end of the jack with the designated point and loosen the lug nuts of the tire to be removed by one turn. The steps for using a jack are: 1. Retrieve the car jack from the vehicle; 2. Locate the jacking point beneath the side door panel; 3. Place the jack at the designated support point; 4. Use the crank to raise the jack—clockwise to lift, counterclockwise to lower. Precautions for jack usage include: 1. Secure the vehicle to prevent instability after lifting; 2. Implement proper safety warning measures; 3. Assess ground conditions and choose a stable surface for jack placement; 4. Check the jack's weight capacity; 5. Align with the vehicle's chassis support points; 6. Place a spare tire under the car for additional safety; 7. Perform lifting operations steadily and slowly.
