Take care to place the jack only at jacking
point 1 or 2 under the vehicle, making sure
that the jack head is centred at the contact
point on the vehicle. Other wise, there is
a
risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the
jack collapsing.
Make sure that any passengers are safe
(removed, away from the vehicle). Never put your hands or your head in the
wheel arch.
Never go underneath a
vehicle raised
using a
jack (use an axle stand).
Do not use:
-

T
he jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle.
-

A j
ack other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer. The jack should only be used to change
a
wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
The jack does not require any maintenance.
The jack meets European standards, as
defined in the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC.
Certain parts of the jack such as the screw
thread or the joints could cause injury:
avoid touching them.
Carefully remove all traces of lubrication
grease.
At the front
F Position the jack C at location 1 provided on
the underbody, near the front wheel.
At the rear
The jack must be located about 60 cm
f rom the edge of the rear wheel.

interfere with the footboard. F
R
elease the bolts using the wheelbrace D
and the bar B .
F E xtend the jack using the wheelbrace D and
the bar B until the wheel is far enough off
the ground to be able to remove the wheel. To easily remove the wheel, a space of
about 2
to 3 cm is required between the
ground and the tyre.
If the wheel is very punctured/flattened,
increase the space but without operating
the jack to its maximum extent.
Do not grease the bolts before installing
them: they could unscrew spontaneously.
