GEARBOX DISENGAGEMENT 

The drive gearboxes located on the front and rear wheel hubs must be disengaged as follows; 
1)

 

To disengage the gearbox, remove both screws from the cover plate, turn it upside down (as per 

the diagram below), and re-tighten the M5 screws to a torque of 5 Nm (3.7lbft). 

2)

 

Before attempting to re-engage the gearbox, ensure that the machine is jacked up so the relevant 

wheel is clear of the ground in order to prevent damage.

 Note; Damage caused by failure to
