Jacking (Armored Vehicles)
Jacking
General
WARNING: Due to the additional weight of the armored vehicle, an hydraulic jack is NOT recommended for lifting. A wheel free lift should always be used.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the underbody components of the vehicle, the following instructions must be adhered to:
CAUTION: Do not position jacks or axle stands under the following components:
- Body structure other than any approved jacking or lifting points
- Bumpers
- Fuel lines
- Fuel tank
- Brake lines
- Front or rear suspension arms
- Steering linkage
- Transfer case
- Front or rear differential units
- Transmission
For certain repair operations, it may be necessary to support the engine under the oil pan. In this case, a block of hardwood or a rubber pad must be positioned on the jack lifting pad to protect the oil pan.

The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended for use in an emergency such as changing a tire. DO NOT use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner's Handbook for the vehicle jack location points and jacking procedures.
