[. . . ] The jack handle and tools (or pillar jack - if fitted) are stowed in a bag behind the front seat in 'Pick-up' and 'Hard-top' models and under the bench seat in 'Soft-top' and 'Station Wagon' models. Operating the bottle jack Slot the jack lever together, ensuring that the spring clip protrudes from the engagement slot where the two parts join (see inset). Close the jack release valve by turning it fully clockwise and insert the lever into the socket where shown. Pump the lever up and down to raise the jack. To lower the jack, withdraw the lever and slot the notched end over the the pegs on the release valve. Slowly turn the release valve anti-clockwise allowing the weight of the vehicle to lower the jack. 107 Ensure that the space under and around the vehicle is free from obstruction as it is lowered. Wheel changing Positioning the bottle jack Always position the jack from the front or rear of the vehicle directly in line with the jacking points. WARNING NEVER use the jack from the side of the vehicle. Always use the complete, two piece, jack lever throughout to minimise any accidental contact with a hot exhaust system. ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack location points described or damage to the vehicle could occur. Rear jacking point: Push the mud flap up over the tyre to allow clear access (return it to its correct position when the wheel change is complete). Position the jack so that, when raised, it engages with the rear axle casing immediately below the coil spring and as close as possible to the shock absorber mounting bracket. Care of the jack Occasionally, clean and grease the moving parts (particularly the ram/pillar) to prevent rust. The bottle jack oil level should be checked at normal servicing intervals and if necessary topped up with an hydraulic oil with a viscosity to BS 4231 grade 32 and ISO proof 32. To avoid contamination, the bottle jack should always be returned to its fully closed position and must always be stowed upright. Front jacking point: Position the jack so that, when raised, it engages with the front axle casing immediately below the coil spring. The jack cradle must locate between the flange at the end of the axle casing and the large bracket to which the front suspension members are mounted. 108 Wheel changing Operating the pillar jack (if supplied) For any wheel: 1. Remove the rubber plug (1) from the jacking tube corresponding to the wheel to be changed. Insert the jack pillar into the base (2). Fit the handle (3) to the pillar and adjust the height so the jacking peg (4) can be inserted into the jacking tube. WARNING ENSURE that you are familiar with operating the jack BEFORE using it to raise a vehicle. ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack location points described or personal injury or damage to the vehicle could occur. DO NOT use the jack without the base fitted the vehicle would not be properly supported and could cause personal injury. ENSURE that the peg is FULLY engaged in the jacking tube. ENSURE that the pillar is vertical NOT at an angle. NOTE: The jack handle operates as a ratchet one side raises the jack, then turn the handle over to lower the jack. 109 Wheel changing Changing a wheel Before raising the vehicle, ensure that all the precautions listed at the beginning of this section have been observed.
