LIFTING AND TOWING
Jacking
The following instructions must be carried out before
raising the vehicle off the ground:
lUse a solid level surface.
lApply parking brake.
lSelect 1st. gear in main gearbox and ensure
HDC is not selected.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to under body
components of the vehicle, adhere to the
following jacking procedures:
DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS
UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
lBumpers
lBrake or Fuel lines
lExhaust pipe
lSuspension components
lSteering rack and linkages
lFuel tank
lEngine sump
lGearbox
lIRD unit
Jack or support vehicle only on approved jacking
points as detailed in the following illustration:
Front (hydraulic jack) and side (vehicle jack) jacking
pointsSafety stand positions under longitudinal members
Rear (hydraulic jack) and side (vehicle jack) jacking
points
Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to
be used in an emergency, for changing a tyre. Do
NOT use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to the
Owner's Handbook for vehicle jack location points
and procedure. Never work under a vehicle only
supported by the vehicle jack.
Hydraulic jack
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg (3,300 lbs)
load capacity must be used.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle
supported only by a jack. Always support the
vehicle on safety stands.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE 10-7
Tyres
Check
1.Check for any apparent damage to tyres,
paying particular attention to side walls.
2.Look at tyre treads and check for any unusual
wear patterns which may indicate out of
specification adjustment of steering or
suspension.
NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or
suspension will be subject to additional labour
and/or material cost and should not be carried
out without the authorisation of the customer.
3.Measure the tread depth across the width of the
tyre and around the circumference. Annotate
the maintenance check sheet with the lowest
figure obtained from each tyre.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres should
be advised to the customer before any remedial
work is carried out. This will be subject to
additional labour and/or material cost and
should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.
CAUTION: If new tyres are to be fitted,
ensure that they are fitted to the rear axle
only or to both front and rear axles. DO NOT
fit new tyres to front axle only.
Brake Pads and Calipers
Brake Pads
1.With front road wheels removed, check brake
pad thickness and ensure that both pads are
wearing evenly.
2.Check brake discs for signs of cracking,
excessive scoring or oil contamination.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace brake pads
or brake discs should be advised to the
customer as this will be subject to additional
labour and/or material cost and should not be
carried out without the authorisation of the
customer.
3.Check for any signs of brake fluid leakage from
caliper seals, hoses or unions.
4.Using brake cleaner, remove excessive
deposits of brake dust from pads, calipers and
disc shields.
