Securing the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away
WARNING
Only jack up the vehicle on level ground or on slight inclines/declines. The vehicle could otherwise fall off the jack and injure you or others.

- Fold out lower plate 2.
- Guide the lugs on the lower plate fully into the openings in base plate 3.

X On level ground: place chocks or other suitable items under the front and rear of the wheel that is diagonally opposite the wheel you wish to change.
Securing the vehicle on slight downhill gradients
- On downhill gradients: place chocks or other suitable items in front of the wheels of the front and rear axle.
