Vehicle Lifting/Jacking Points

Vehicle jacking points are shown in  Figure 1-10. The vehicle can be raised with a floor jack at any of the indicated positions. Jack-
ing can be performed at the front, rear, or at any one wheel.

In cases where the entire vehicle must be raised, use jack stands at equidistant points on the frame rails. Use a minimum of four
stands to support the vehicle. Suggested capacity for individual jack stands is 3 ton, with a vertical reach of 19 in. (49 cm).

Typical jack stand placement for raising one side of the vehicle is shown in Figure 1-11. Always be sure the jack stand saddle is se-
curely engaged and the stand is level.

Vehicle Hoisting

HUMMER H1 vehicles can be raised on a hoist for service access. Drive-on and swivel arm hoists are both acceptable.  Hoist ca-
pacity and width are important. The greater width and weight of HUMMER H1 vehicles require a larger hoisting platform. Do not
use an under capacity hoist, or modify an existing hoist for use; this practice is neither safe nor recommended.

Towing Recommendations

HUMMER H1 vehicles can be towed with wheel lift, sling-type, or flat bed tow equipment.

Flat bed and wheel lift equipment is recommended over sling type or A-frame equipment.

Towing Cautions:

• Remove or secure loads in the towed vehicle

• Never use the shackles on the front bumpers as tie down points

• Always use safety chains on sling towed vehicles

• Always follow the transmission/transfer case shift position recommendations (Transfer Case in N (Neutral); Transmission 

in P (Park). 

• Use a low vehicle trailer for recreational towing (behind an RV or other vehicle) when possible. 

• Never put chains, cables or straps on any steering components.

Flat Bed/Wheel Lift Towing Procedures

Flat bed/wheel lift tow vehicles are highly recommended. They keep all of the towed vehicle wheels off the pavement. This is im-
portant with full time four wheel drive vehicles.

Loading only requires that the towed vehicle be raised or winched onto the towing platform. A further advantage of this type equip-
ment is that tow speed and distance are not limited. Once the towed vehicle is loaded, set the parking brake, shift the transmission
into Park and install the vehicle tie downs. Tie down attachment points are shown in  Figure 1-12.
