1.9 Jacking
WARNING: Always position the
vehicle on a hard level surface. If
the vehicle must be jacked up on a
soft surface use load spreading
blocks under the jack. Always chock
the wheel diagonally opposite the
jacking point. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal
injury.
CAUTIONS:
It is important that only the correct
jacking and support locations are
used at all times
Make sure that access to the spare
wheel is maintained when
converting the vehicle or relocating
the spare wheel.
NOTE: When using the vehicle jack, refer to the
owner guide for correct operating instructions.
NOTE: Make sure that reinforcements are
installed to maintain the integrity of the original
body structure for/at jacking points.
NOTE: Any modifications to the vehicle must
be noted in the owner's handbook or new
descriptive literature included with the owner's
documentation.
On Cab Van Floor vehicles, the spare wheel
winch is located behind the right hand side rear
wheel and can be accessed from the right hand
side. The access must be ensured under
maximum gross vehicle mass and rear axle load.
On right hand drive derivatives of camper base
Chassis Cab and Cab Van Floor vehicles, the jack
assembly is placed in a temporary location during
transportation of the base vehicle after the
conversion. The jack must be assembled and
fixed appropriately to the body to ensure safety,
durability and accessibility.
