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 (Figure 30 to Figure 32) 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 (Figure 30)
Note: No axle forks are needed for this
first lift
