You're in the Right Place If...
• You have a flat tire on a Kawasaki KRX H2.
• You want the safest lift points.
• You're using an AGM Manual Jack PRO.
• You want to avoid damaging your vehicle.
• You want to get back on the trail quickly.
Flat Tire Repair
• If using hand tools, loosen the lug nuts before lifting.
• Lift from the preferred lift point.
• Place a cooler, toolbox, spare tire, or similar size solid object under the vehicle as a secondary support.
• Remove the lug nuts, catching each one if possible.
• If a lug nut falls into dirt or sand, clean it before reinstalling so threads are not damaged.
• Install the replacement wheel.
• Start every lug nut by hand.
• Tighten in a star pattern.
• Torque to Kawasaki specifications whenever possible. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten with an impact gun to get you home.
Preferred Rear Lift
Lift Here
Flat section of the trailing arm just forward of the radius in the arm.
Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Manual Jack PRO.
• Reduces required lift height.
• Helps keep the lifting pad engaged.
• Creates a stable rear lifting position.
Watch Out
• Position the lifting pad on the flat section of the trailing arm.
• Push the jack inward until the jack body contacts the side of the suspension.
• Create two points of contact before lifting.
Trail Tip
Keep the lifting pad slightly farther underneath the vehicle than the top of the jack so it moves toward vertical as the vehicle rises.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Rear chassis tube between the shock and radius rods.
Why
• Good backup if the trailing arm cannot be used.
• Solid structural lift point.
• Allows stable vehicle support during repairs.
Watch Out
• Feed the jack between the shock and radius rods.
• Position the lifting pad beneath the rear chassis tube.
• Angle the jack slightly toward the center of the vehicle.
Trail Tip
Create two points of contact before lifting so the jack stays controlled as the vehicle rises.
Preferred Front Lift
Lift Here
Flat section of the upper control arm just past the bend.
Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Manual Jack PRO.
• Stable lifting surface.
• Helps minimize required lift height.
• Keeps the lifting pad aligned as the suspension extends.
Watch Out
• Face the jack toward the center of the vehicle.
• Position the lifting pad perpendicular to the face of the control arm.
• Create two points of contact before lifting.
Trail Tip
Use the flat section just past the bend in the upper control arm for the most stable front lift.
Stability Tip
Lift Here
Use the same front upper control arm lift point after rotating the collar.
Why
• Reduces unwanted pivoting during front lifts.
• Limits side-to-side movement.
• Keeps the jack aligned with the lift point.
• Creates a more controlled lift.
Watch Out
• Rotate the adjustment collar 90 degrees before lifting.
• Verify the jack remains aligned with the lift point.
• Lower and reset the jack if it begins to shift.
Trail Tip
Rotating the collar can make front lifting significantly easier on the KRX H2. Tiny adjustment, big “oh nice, that worked” energy.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Positioning the jack so it leans farther under the vehicle as it rises.
• Forgetting to rotate the collar when front lift movement becomes an issue.
• Removing the wheel before confirming the vehicle is stable.
• Starting lug nuts with an impact.
• Crawling under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Trail Safety Checklist
✓ Move off the trail whenever possible.
✓ Park on level ground.
✓ Vehicle in Park.
✓ Four-wheel drive engaged if needed.
✓ Chock a tire if necessary.
✓ Use a secondary support before putting any part of your body underneath the vehicle.

For most repairs, lift from the rear trailing arm and front upper control arm.
What is the best rear lift point on a Kawasaki KRX H2?
The trailing arm is the preferred rear lift point. The rear chassis tube can also be used when needed.
What is the best front lift point on a Kawasaki KRX H2?
The upper control arm is the preferred front lift point when using the AGM Manual Jack PRO.
Why should I rotate the adjustment collar 90 degrees?
Rotating the collar can reduce unwanted pivoting during front lifts and help keep the jack aligned with the lift point.
Why should I start lug nuts by hand?
