Jacking Instructions

CAUTION
When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use correct blocks, hoists and
jacks. Make sure machine is parked on a solid lev-
el floor such as a concrete floor. Prior to raising
machine, remove any attachments that may inter-
fere with the safe and proper raising of the ma-
chine. 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.
Jacking the Front End
1. If the front wheel motor is to be removed, position
jack securely under the square tube of the lower frame
as closely to the side plate as possible (Fig. 1).
2. If the front tire is to be removed, position the jack se-
curely under the front wheel motor.
3. Use jack stands or hardwood blocks under the
square tube or wheel motors to support the machine.
Jacking the Rear End
1. The preferred method for removing the rear fork or
the rear wheel is to lift the rear end of the machine from
above:
A. Secure a chain fall or hoist to the rear casting (Fig
2).
B. Chock both front tires. Lift rear tire off the ground.
C. Use jack stands or hardwood blocks under the
frame to support the machine (Fig. 3).
2. If the rear of the machine cannot be lifted from above:
A. Chock both front tires.
IMPORTANT: Make sure jack is as close to the
rear fork as possible when jacking the machine.
B. Place jack securely under the rear casting as
close to the fork as possible (Fig. 3). Jack rear tire off
the ground.
C. Use jack stands or blocks under the frame to sup-
port the machine.
