WARNING
A raised and badly supported machine can fall on you.
Position the machine on a firm, level surface before
raising one end. Ensure the other end is securely
chocked. Do not rely solely on the machine hydraulics or
jacks to support the machine when working under it.
Disconnect the battery, to prevent the engine being
started while you are beneath the machine.

point of the axle is not the centre of the axle. Attach a
'cradle' to the jack that will partially embrace the axle.
