Use leveling jacks to lift the tractor, and after lifting insert backing blocks and limit stops

Places for leveling jack installation on the tractor are marked by a sign shown in figure

When using leveling jacks comply with the following safety requirements:
- in course of lifting of the BELARUS-82.3 tractors use properly operating leveling jacks
with the lifting capacity of at least 10 ton-forces;
- before jacking the tractor kill the engine and engage the parking brake;
- when jacking the front of the tractor put chocks under the rear wheels. When jacking
the rear of the tractor engage the gear and put chocks under the front wheels;
- do not place the jack on a soft or slippery surface as it may cause the tractor fall off
the jack. When needed, use steady and relatively large bearing surface;
- after the tractor is lifted, put backing blocks and limit stops under the FDA shaft, rear
wheel axle shafts or basic components of the tractor frame, to exclude tractor fall or rolling
movement.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO START THE ENGINE WHEN THE TRACTOR IS JACKED.
ATTENTION: ONLY PERSONNEL PROPERLY INSTRUCTED ON SAFE USE OF LEVEL-
ING JACKS, AND HAVING LEARNED METHODS OF LEVELING JACK SAFE OPERATION ARE
ALLOWED TO USE A LEVELING JACK!
