LIFTING

The following instructions must be carried out before 
raising the vehicle off the ground.

l

Use a solid level ground surface.

l

Apply hand brake.

l

Select 'P' (Automatic gearbox) or 1st gear 
(Manual gearbox) in main gearbox.

l

Select Low range in transfer gearbox.

To avoid damage occurring to the under body 
components of the vehicle the following jacking 
procedures must be adhered to. 

DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS 
UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:

l

Body structure

l

Bumpers

l

Fuel lines 

l

Brake lines

l

Front radius arms

Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended for 
use in an emergency, for changing a tyre. DO NOT 
use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to Owner's 
Handbook for vehicle jack location points and 
procedure. Never work under a vehicle supported 
solely by the vehicle jack.

Hydraulic jack
 A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg, 3,300 lbs 
load  capacity must be used. Do not commence 
work on the underside of the vehicle until  
suitable axle stands have been positioned under 
the axle
.

WARNING: Always chock the wheels when 
jacking. The hand brake acts on  the 
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be 
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.

Raising and supporting the vehicle

Position cup of hydraulic arm under differential 
casing (1).The differential casing is not central to 
the axle. Care should be taken when raising the 
front road wheels off the ground as the rear axle 
has less sway stiffness.

Raise vehicle to enable an axle stand to be installed 
under left hand axle tube (2). 

Position an axle stand under right hand axle tube (4). 
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on both 
axle stands, remove jack.

Alternatively, the axle stands can be positioned 
under the chassis longitudinals at the front and/or 
rear of the vehicle.

LIFTING AND TOWING

08-2

Before commencing work on underside of vehicle re-
check  security of vehicle on stands. 

WARNING: Always chock the wheels when 
jacking. The hand brake acts on the the 
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be 
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.

Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from 
stands.

Hydraulic ramps
Use only a 'drive on' type ramp which supports a 
vehicle by it's own road wheels. If a 'wheel free' 
condition is required, use a 'drive on' ramp 
incorporating a 'wheel free' system that supports 
under axle casings. Alternatively, place vehicle on a 
firm, flat floor and support on axle stands.

TOWING

Towing
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The 
following towing instructions must be adhered 
to:

Towing on 4 wheels with driver
Turn ignition key to position '1' to release steering 
lock.

Select neutral in main gearbox and transfer gearbox.

Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.

Release the handbrake.

The brake servo and power assisted steering 
system will not be functional without the engine 
running. Greater pedal pressure will be required 
to apply the brakes, the steering system will 
require greater effort to turn the front road 
wheels. The vehicle tow connection should be 
used only in normal road conditions, 'snatch' 
recovery should be avoided.

Suspended tow
To prevent vehicle damage, front or rear 
propeller shaft MUST BE removed, dependent 
upon which axle is being trailed.

Mark propeller shaft drive flanges at transfer box and 
axles with identification lines to enable the propeller 
shaft to be refitted in its original position.
