Instructions
Read the following instructions completely before attempting to jack your vehicle. If you do not understand these instructions, or are unsure of your abilities to perform any of the following steps, call for profes­sional help.
WARNING: Examine the jack and all of
it’s components for signs of damage or abuse before using. If the jack is dam­aged DO NOT USE. Never place fingers or objects into the moving parts of the jack.
WARNING: Never use the jack on soft
soil such as sand or loose gravel, on highway shoulders, or very hot pave­ment, which will not support the jack. Do not raise a car unless you're on a HARD & LEVEL surface.
How to Raise a Car
For Compact to Medium Size Cars Only!
WARNING: It is NEVER safe to get under a car that's supported only by a jack. Use jack stands if the car will be off the ground for any period of time, if you plan to get underneath it, or if you'll be working or making repairs on the car.
1. Park the car on level ground and put on the parking brake. Place manual
transmission cars in first gear or reverse and put automatic transmissions in park. Make sure everyone is out of the car before raising it with the jack.
2. Unpack jack from carrying case. Unwind the cables from the jack and handheld controller.
3. Place wheel chocks (not included) in front of and behind a wheel diagonally opposite of the vehicle’s wheel being raised by the jack.
4. Place the jack under the car's frame nearest the wheel to be raised. Consult your vehicle’s owner's manual for the safest place to put the jack. Some cars have special jacks and slots on the side of the car or bumper for the jack .
6. When the jack is in place, and the lug nuts have been loos­ened, insert the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor into the vehi­cle’s cigarette lighter socket. Move away from the vehicle and then press the “UP” but­ton until the jack is extended enough to properly place under the vehicle’s frame. Raise the jack high enough to either replace a flat tire or place the car on a jack stand (a stable, heavy duty, tempo­rary stand at a fixed height). If you're changing a flat, don't stop rais­ing the car when the flat tire is just off the ground. A fully inflated standard spare tire will require more ground clearance.

8. When you're finished, press the “DOWN“ button to lower the jack. Be cautious and go slowly. If you've used a jack stand, before lowering the jack you will need to raise the car slightly to pull

the stand from its place.

After vehicle is firmly on the ground, remove the jack and tighten lug nuts on the spare replacement tire.
How to Change a Tire
1. Choose a safe place to change the flat tire. Pull off the road so that you are safely out of the flow of traffic. Try to stop in a straight part of the road so that pass­ing traffic can see you from a distance. Stop the car on level ground, it is unsafe to raise a car on an incline. Turn on your Hazard lights.
2. Take out the tools for changing a flat tire from the car, and place them within reach of the flat tire. Place a chock (not included) or a brick behind and in front of the wheel diago­nally opposite one being raised up by the jack.
3. Remove the hubcap, if necessary. Consult your owners' manual for proper instructions on removing the hub caps.
USING THE LUG WRENCH, BEGIN TO LOOSEN THE LUG NUTS. DO NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS AT THIS TIME, ONLY LOOSEN THEM.
4. Consult your owner’s manual for the best position for the jack. The jack will usually contact the car at a small plate on the frame of the car. This plate will usually be located just in front of the rear tires, and just behind the front tires. Position the jack under the car, and raise the jack until it contacts the frame. Check that the jack is properly positioned, if the jack is not at a right angle (90º), lower the jack and reposition it.
5. Extend the jack until the tire is about 6 inches off the ground. When raising the car, remember a full size spare tire is fully inflated and will require more ground clearance, to be placed on the car. A “donut” spare tire may be smaller.
6. Remove the lug nuts from the bolts,
and put them aside. Grab the tire. It is easiest to grab the tire at the "nine o'clock" and "three o'clock" positions. Pull the tire straight toward you and off the car.
7. Position the spare tire in front of the wheel well. Align the holes in the rim of the spare tire with the bolts on the car. Lift up the spare tire and position it on the threaded bolts. Push the tire onto the car until it cannot go any farther. Replace the lug nuts before lowering the car, mak­ing them finger-tight. Do not tighten fully. Only finish tightening the lug nuts with the lug wrench when the car is on the ground. Vigorous movement may cause the car to come off of the jack.
8. Lower the car with the jack until the car is again resting on all four tires. Tighten the lug nuts, starting with one, then tightening to the one opposite it; repeat with the rest of the lug nuts. Ensure the lug nuts are all tight before driving the vehicle.
9. Return the jack and lug wrench in their proper locations. Place flat tire in trunk.
How to Change the Fuse
1. Hold the body of the cigarette lighter plug and unscrew the tip by turning it
counter clockwise.
Remove the fuse to examine its condition.
2.
3. If the filament is broken, replace with the supplied replacement 10 Amp fuse or a fuse of the same amperage rating.
