Wheel Free Lift - Four Post Ramp
NOTE:
Front Support Block Dimensions
l
'A' = 127.0 mm (5.0 in)
l
'B' = 146.0 mm (5.75 in)
l
'C' = 89.0 mm (3.5 in)
WARNING: If the drive shaft(s) are to be disconnected, it will be necessary to raise all four wheels off the
ramp in order that the shaft(s) can be rotated. If the wheel free facility is not to be used, raise the vehicle off the
ramp using suitable equipment. With the vehicle raised, position axle stands in the positions shown for the front
and rear support blocks - see illustration in Jacking. With the axle stands positioned, release the parking brake
and select NEUTRAL 'N' in the main gearbox.
WARNING: Do not push the vehicle bacwards and forwards along the ramp in order to gain access to
the drive shaft fixings.
To enable the vehicle to be supported correctly on the wheel free longitudinals, it will be necessary to produce 2 off
each of the support blocks to the dimensions given in the accompanying illustrations. The supporting part of each
block must be manufactured from suitable hardwood or metal and the 'U' shaped base of each block must be
manufactured from metal. Note that it is essential to ensure that the 'U' shaped base of each block is wide enough
to fit over the wheel free longitudinals.
