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. 

 

IDENTIFYING GEARBOX TYPE 

In order to safely tow the HR21, the drive mechanism will need to be bypassed. Identify the type of 

gearbox fitted to the machine then refer to the relevant procedure for disengagement of the gearboxes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

GEARBOX DISENGAGEMENT (TYPE 1) 

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), and 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.
