Past posts have mentioned FARM JACKS as a means of raising the entire top
for mainenance, repair, etc. I just went thru this when replacing the lift cylinder on my 1702T unit. I had to use one auto jack and four 2x4's and raise/lower each corner 2" at a time.
I just received a new Harbor Frieght catalog and in the Automotive Section there they were, FARM JACKS.
#6530, 48" lift down to 6", $ 40.
# 66183 60" lift down to 6', $60.
A little expensive but a way to easily raise and lower the whole top to replace cables, etc.
