X4 - How to lift?

[andy_rb]

Hello All

I just got an X4 and am ready to lift it onto a stand.

I don't see any provision for a 'lifting lug' or any other such attachment.

I have a winch ready to go but I'm not sure of the best way to raise the machine. I have a range of straps but there's no really obvious way to attach them and without lifting the mill I'm not sure of exactly where the centre of gravity is.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Andy

I just lifted an KX3 the other day, take a look at My KX3, tweaks and various stuff for inspiration. Follow the link to the picasa album for more pics
