2.2.1 First
Lift
To allow lifting equipment fitted with axle forks to reach under the front axle or tow eyes, it is necessary
to perform a first lift of the front of the bus using the tow eye pads as lifting points. This first lift will allow
tow cans or blocks to be placed underneath front tires.
1. Retract the tow truck stinger arm.
2. On the first lift, position the tow bar fork
holders under the front tow eye pads
(fig.27-29) to lift the bus in order to
place the front wheels firmly on the tow
cans or blocks.
Center to center measurement between
tow eyes= 37 inches (fig.27)
Note: No axle forks are needed for this
first lift
