This is a photograph of a factory jacking instructions decal (label), typically affixed to the jack storage cover or interior panel of Ford F150/250/350 (4x4) trucks and Broncos. The label directs the owner to the Owner's Guide for detailed jacking instructions and provides abbreviated safety steps: block the diagonally opposite wheel; with an automatic transmission place the selector lever in "P" (manual: place lever in Reverse); select 4H or 4L on the transfer case; retrieve the jack handle from under the hood; never place any portion of your body under the vehicle while it is jacked (the jack is provided for emergency wheel and tire changing only); and position the jack under the axle as shown. Step (4) REAR shows an illustration of the jack positioned under the rear axle between the U-bolts or under the U-bolt bracket. The label carries Ford part number E7TA-17A083-EA. Roughly the left third of the label is torn away, so the beginnings of several instruction lines are missing, but the remaining text conveys the essential jacking procedure and safety warnings.
