E 150 1/2 Ton Van V6-4.2L VIN 2 (1997)
Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation
Floor Jack
WARNING: TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT PUT ANY PORTION OF YOUR BODY UNDER THE
VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON A JACK. THE JACK IS PROVIDED FOR EMERGENCY WHEEL AND TIRE CHANGING
ONLY.
WARNING: NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITH ONE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND, SUCH AS WHEN CHANGING A TIRE. THE
WHEELS STILL ON THE GROUND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with an under-chassis mounted spare tire, remove the tire, wheel, or tire carrier from the vehicle before it is placed in
a high lift position in order to avoid sudden weight release from the chassis.
CAUTION: Do not use the differential housing as lift point. Leaks or damage to the rear axle cover and adjoining differential housing surface can occur
if a floor jack or any other lifting device is allowed to contact the cover at any point where the cover joins the housing.
1. Block the diagonally opposite wheel to prevent the vehicle from moving.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with an under-chassis mounted spare tire, perform this step.
2. Remove the under-chassis mounted spare tire.
3. Position the jack at the recommended jacking point.
4. Raise the vehicle.
