Jacking Procedure
Occasionally, your machine may
need to be suspended off of the
ground to perform maintenance.
Exercise caution when jacking
the machine. Always use a jack
that is capable of lifting the
machine and support its weight
with ASV approved jack stands
while suspended. Never work on
or under a machine supported
only by a jack.
To safely jack your machine:
1.
Remove any attachments
that may be fastened to the
machine and raise the lift
arms.
2. Install the lift arm brace as
instructed on page 34.
3. Once the lift arms are
secured, carefully exit the
machine.
4. Roll or slide your jack under
the front of the machine and
center the lifting pad directly
under the middle of the front
torsion axle.
5. Once in place, jack the
machine upward making
sure it remains stable until it
has reached sufficient
height to install an ASV jack
stand beneath the machine.
(fig. 1)
6. Slide the jack stand into
place making sure it is cen-
tered under the machine (left
to right when viewed from
the front) and far enough
back for the machine to
remain stable when the jack
is lowered and the front of
the machine rests on the
stand. (fig. 2)
7. Once the stand is in place,
slowly lower the machine
onto the stand and then
remove the jack.
Repeat steps 4-7 at the rear of
the machine should both ends of
the machine need to be off of
the ground for service.

Lift the machine under the tor-
sion axles only! Jacking the
machine in any other place may
cause damage.
