Jacking Instructions

When changing attachments, tires, or performing
other service, use correct blocks, hoists, and
jacks. Make sure machine is parked on a solid lev-
el surface such as a concrete floor. Prior to rais-
ing machine, remove any attachments that may
interfere with the safe and proper raising of the
machine. Always chock or block wheels. Use jack
stands or solid wood blocks to support the raised
machine. If the machine is not properly sup-
ported by blocks or jack stands, the machine may
move or fall, which may result in personal injury.

1. Set parking brake and chock both rear tires to pre-
vent the machine from moving.
2. Position jack securely under the tie down rod that is
welded to the square tube of the front frame.
3. Position jack stands or hardwood blocks under the
square tube as close to the wheels as possible to sup-
port the machine.

machine is (Fig. 2):
A. Secure a chain fall or hoist to the tie down rod on
the rear of the frame.

the ground.
C. On 2WD models, use jack stands or blocks under
the axle as close to the wheels as possible to secure
the machine.
D. On 4WD models, use jack stands or blocks under
the axle tube as close to the gear box housings as
possible to secure the machine.
2. If the rear of the machine can not be lifted as above:
A. On 2WD models, place jack securely under the
pivot bracket for the steering cylinder (Fig. 3).
