Operating & Safety Instructions
4.7.2 TOWING
If the Niftylift needs to be towed in case of an emergency, it will be necessary to chock the wheels
before starting any of the following actions.
GEARBOX DISENGAGEMENT
In order to safely tow the HR17, the drive mechanism will need to be bypassed. The drive gearboxes
located on the front and rear wheel hubs must be disengaged as follows;
1) To disengage the gearbox, remove both screws from the cover plate, turn it upside down (as per
the diagram below), re-tighten the M5 screws to a torque of 5 Nm (3.7lbft).
2) Before attempting to re-engage the gearbox, ensure that the machine is jacked up so the relevant
wheel is clear of the ground in order to prevent damage. Note; Damage caused by failure to
comply with this notice will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
4.7.3 CRANEAGE
1) Observe all of the limitations relating to straps and chains stated above under 'Transporting'.
(4.7.1)
2) When utilising the designated lifting points never apply a 'snatch' load, i.e. lift slowly to take up
the load before raising. Similarly, do not drop machine when positioning after lifting.
3) If the machine is to be lifted by crane, use the designated lifting points and observe the
recommendations regarding spreader beams. Individual drawings are available for each machine
type, on request. (See list below.)
