Section 00-02: Lifting, Jacking, Spare Tire Stowage and Emergency Towing | 1993 Mustang Workshop Manual |
CAUTION: The service jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to be used
in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. Never use the service jack to
hoist the vehicle for any other service. Refer to the Owner Guide when using
the jack supplied with the vehicle.
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A TRACTION-LOK AXLE, NEVER
RUN THE ENGINE WITH ONE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND, SUCH AS WHEN CHANGING A TIRE. THE
WHEEL STILL ON THE GROUND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either front or rear bumpers of
any unitized vehicle.
When using a floor jack, the vehicle may be raised at several locations. The front of the vehicle may be lifted by positioning the jack under the center of the No. 2 crossmember. The front, as well as either side of the rear end, may be lifted by positioning the floor jack under the rocker flange at the contact points used for the service jack supplied with the vehicle.
Position jacks under the rear axle housing tubes between the suspension arm brackets and the differential housing. Do not place jacks under the suspension arm brackets.
