the vehicle is extremely unstable during the lifting
process.
Never attempt to raise the rear wheels of a three
wheel vehicle without first raising the front of the
vehicle and supporting on jack stands.
When lifting vehicle, position jacks and
jack stands only on areas indicated.
Servicing that requires access to the underside of the
vehicle may be accomplished by raising the front of the
vehicle with a chain hoist attached to the front frame
members. Always use an additional safety chain to pre-
vent injury should the hoist malfunction.
To remove the front axle, loosen the hardware and turn
the front wheel to the position indicated. Position a jack in
the location indicated and carefully raise the front of the
vehicle. Position the jack stands as shown. Use care not
to place the jack or stands where they could interfere
