CHANGING WHEELS
Should something happen to your Unit requiring you to check underneath it or elevate it to change a tyre there is a specific way you
must raise the Unit to ensure you are jacking it up safely & correctly.
Before jacking your Unit first make sure you are safely pulled over off the road.
A regular car jack can be used on a Lumberjack Unit.
Vehicle Jack in position on trailer
Before jacking up the Unit ensure the handbrake is active, then loose the wheel nuts a little bit using a wheel brace or 19mm socket
on a breaker bar. This will make it easier to remove them once the wheel is off the ground.
Under the Unit you will notice the orange suspension arms & large suspension springs. Place the wheel jack on the suspension arm
under the large spring of the side you want to jack.
Once the jack is secure in position you can begin lifting the Unit, do not lift the Unit any higher than is required to remove the wheel.
When in position it is recommended to lower the stabiliser legs, in the event of an emergency should the Unit come off the jack they
can reduce any damage of the Unit dropping.
Loose & remove the wheel nuts with a wheel brace (Wheel brace) or a 19mm socket on the breaker bar & keep them in a safe
place. You can then remove the tyre & refit the spare. Once fitted ensure you tighten the nuts before raising the stabilizer legs and
lowering the Unit.
Once on the ground again further tighten the wheel nuts before continuing on your trip.
