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 Sport.
• 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 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 Sport.
• Stable lifting surface.
• Helps keep the lifting pad aligned.
• Second point of contact adds stability.
Watch Out
• Angle the jack toward the center of the vehicle.
• Position the lifting pad flush against the control arm.
• Push the jack inward to contact the lower arm.
Trail Tip
Create two points of contact before lifting: the lifting pad on the upper control arm and the jack body lightly against the lower arm.
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 Sport.
• Secure rear lifting position.
• Gets the tire off the ground efficiently.
• Helps keep the repair simple on the trail.
Watch Out
• Position the lifting pad beneath the flat section of the trailing arm.
• Push the jack inward to create two points of contact.
• Confirm the jack is stable before lifting.
Trail Tip
Use the flat section just forward of the radius in the trailing arm for the most stable rear lift.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Rear chassis tube between the shock and chassis.
Why
• Good backup if the trailing arm cannot be used.
• Stable alternate rear lift point.
• Useful when the trailing arm is not the best choice for the repair.
Watch Out
• Feed the jack between the shock and chassis.
• Angle the lifting pad toward the center of the vehicle.
• Allow the jack body to lightly contact the tube for a second point of contact.
Trail Tip
Confirm stability before lifting, especially when using the rear chassis tube as a backup lift point.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Skipping the second point of contact.
• Removing the wheel before confirming the vehicle is stable.
• Starting lug nuts with an impact.
• Forgetting to hand-start KRX H2 lug nuts.
• Crawling under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

Questions We Hear Most
Where should I lift a Kawasaki KRX H2 with a Manual Jack Sport?
For most repairs, lift from the front upper control arm and rear trailing arm.
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 Sport.
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.
