Raising the Cargo Bed in
an Emergency
The cargo bed can be raised in an emergency without
starting the engine by cranking starter or by jumping
the hydraulic system.
Raising the Cargo Bed using the
Starter
Crank the starter while holding the lift lever in the
Raise position. Run the starter for 10 seconds, then
wait 60 seconds before engaging the starter again.
If the engine does not crank, you must remove the
load and bed (attachment) to service the engine or
transaxle.
Raising the Cargo Bed by Jumping
the Hydraulic System
CAUTION
A raised bed full of material without the proper
safety support rod may lower unexpectedly.
Working under an unsupported raised bed
may cause injury to you or others.
• Before servicing or making adjustments to
the machine, park the machine on a level
surface, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
• Remove any load material from the bed
or other attachment and insert the safety
support on a fully extended cylinder rod
before working under a raised bed.
You will need 2 hydraulic hoses, each with a male
and female quick coupler, that fit the machine
couplers, to perform this operation.
1.
Back another machine up to the rear of the
disabled machine.
Important:
The machine hydraulic system
uses Dexron III ATF. To avoid system
contamination, make sure that the machine
used to jump the hydraulic system uses an
equivalent fluid.
2.
On both machine, disconnect the 2 quick-coupler
hoses from the hoses secured to the coupler
bracket
(Figure
69).

2. Quick-coupler hose B
3.
On the disabled machine, connect the 2 jumper
hoses to the hoses that were disconnected
(Figure
70).
4.
Cap the unused fittings.
