You're in the Right Place If...
• You have a flat tire on a Kawasaki KRX.
• You want the safest lift points.
• You're using an AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• You want to avoid damaging your vehicle.
• You want to get back on the trail quickly.
Flat Tire Repair
• The Kawasaki KRX lug nuts use a 17 mm socket.
• 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.
• Watch for the washers behind the lug nuts so they do not disappear into the dirt.
• If a lug nut or washer falls into dirt or sand, clean it before reinstalling so threads are not damaged.
• Install the replacement wheel.
• Reinstall the washers and start every lug nut by hand.
• Tighten in a cross 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
Trailing arm just forward of the triangle gusset.
Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• Uses one of the flatter rear suspension surfaces on the KRX.
• The triangle gusset helps act as a stop for the lifting pad.
• Rotating the collar helps fight suspension movement as track width changes.
Watch Out
• Keep the lifting pad on the flattest portion of the trailing arm.
• Avoid allowing the jack to tip too far away from the pad.
• Rotate the collar 90 degrees to help keep the jack more vertical when needed.
Trail Tip
Because the KRX track width changes as it lifts, collar position matters. Keep the jack as vertical as possible for a more stable lift.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Rear chassis rail under the engine.
Why
• Useful if the trailing arm is not accessible.
• Provides a chassis-based rear lifting option.
• Allows access to rear suspension components during certain repairs.
Watch Out
• This is a tight fit, so position the jack carefully.
• Keep the jack all the way back against the rear radius rod.
• Make sure the suspension has room to move inward as the vehicle rises.
Trail Tip
Fold the pad 90 degrees to slide the jack into place, then rotate it flat and reinstall the hook before lifting.
Preferred Front Lift
Lift Here
Upper control arm directly below the lower shock bolt.
Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• Located near the flattest front suspension surface available.
• Allows the jack to start angled and move toward vertical.
• Creates a stable front lift when two contact points are used.
Watch Out
• Rotate the collar 90 degrees to reduce unwanted jack movement.
• Push the jack base all the way in until the hook contacts the lower arm.
• Confirm the pad contacts the upper arm before continuing the lift.
Trail Tip
Use the upper arm and lower arm as two contact points to help keep the jack from leaning away as the vehicle rises.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Letting the rear lift point become unstable as the vehicle rises.
• Forgetting to rotate the collar when the lift point angle requires it.
• Positioning the rear chassis lift too far from the radius rod.
• 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.
