Picture a dropped Burg 650.
Perish the thought!! Ugh!
But, what if.....
I have read the technique, turn your back to the beast, pull the downside handle bar close, put one hand on the grab rails, and lift with your butt and back and legs, don't over push or you will go over onto the other side, because it get much lighter as you come up etc.
We all know the 650 weighs 524 Lbs, dry weight.
(well, you do now)
What I'm wondering is this.
When (if ever) we have to lift our machine like this, does anyone actually know how much weight we are lifting this way at the beginning of the lft?
I suspect it's a fraction of the total weight, but what fraction :?:
I'm told even a small woman can do this if done properly, so that's a clue.
Course' my wife is a very strong little woman. :lol:
