Manual

The following procedure assumes that han-

dler cannot be moved under its own power.

The safest way to move a disabled handler is to use a

tow trucK of sufficient capacity to raise front wheels

clear of ground - OR - use a ramp/flatbed vehicle of

sufficient capacity.

The next safest is pushing the unit and least safe is

towing the unit.

Whichever method is used, certain preliminary steps

must be taken. Perform following procedure as

appropriate for method selected.

Secure both hub engage/disengage plates with

dimple pointing outward to disengage rear drive

hubs. This is the only preparation required if unit

will be towed with front wheels off ground.

Position chocks at all wheels to prevent

movement.

NOTE: Early 534B-9 units were equipped with

SOMA front drive axles and recent units are equip-

ped with Rockwell front drive axles. Be sure to

follow proper instructions for your unit.

For SOMA Axle Only

Loosen four cap screws evenly to obtain a 1/4 inch

gap between hub and cover plate at both ends of

axle. This releases parking brakes.

For Rockwell Axle Only

Loosen cap screws to remove all spring tension

from caliper. This releases parking brake.

Steps 1. thru 3. are the only preparations required if

unit is to be carried on a flatbed vehicle.

If unit is to be pushed or towed, the drive shaft

between front axle and transmission must be

removed to prevent damage to transmission.
