MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION
DO NOT tow the vehicle from the axle.
Towing the vehicle by the axle will cause
scarring and resultant damage to the axle
and void warranty.
When lifting a vehicle with an under lift boom, care must be taken not to damage the
engine's oil pan. It may also be necessary to remove the front fairing.
This is an alternative method for towing the vehicle, but it requires SPECIAL forks (see
illustration showing designated lift points). The following procedure must be used:
•
Place a block of wood on top of the boom and lift the vehicle in order to place spacers
under tires. This will provide sufficient room under the axle to locate forks in the
proper position.
•
Install the fork in the boom properly with the angled arm of the fork facing forward.
•
Position the forks directly under the center of the bottom axle wraps, and lift vehicle.
The indentions in the center of the wrap will locate the forks and maintain their position.
•
When securing the vehicle to the boom, use (preferably) nylon safety straps. Chains
have a tendency to bind and may cause damage to the axle.
