Only use the specically designated jack* for the corre-
sponding frame parts.
For example, on the axle pipe corresponding to the
swinging lever group or on the stringer in the area of
the axle fasteners.
Damage or even an accident resulting from the vehicle's
toppling over can occur if the jack* is applied to other
parts of the vehicle.
The jack* is only to be used for changing tyres. It may
not be used for working under the vehicle!
It takes some skill and strength to remove the spare tyre.
If necessary, request technical assistance (e.g. from the
AA) to remove the spare tyre and mount it.
