1.2 CHASSIS HOISTING POINTS
The vehicle is provided with six chassis hoisting points. Use chassis hoisting points in replacement of
wheels as lifting points when the vehicle cannot be supported from an axle on which repair or maintenance
is being done, otherwise use wheels as lifting points.
When using the chassis hoisting points to support the bus, the tag axle must be unloaded at all time. To
prevent damages to the suspension, always support the drive and front axles using jack stands when
using chassis hoisting points.
