LIFTING THE OPERATOR GUARD
AWARNING
1. Stop the loader on a level surface.
2. Put the lift arms all the way down.
Do not work on the loader with the lift
arms in a raised position with support.
Use lift arm stops or other methods.
3. Stop the engine, engage the brake, and disconnect the wiring harness behind
the seat (Fig. 35).
4. Put jackstands or blocks under the rear corners of the loader to keep the loader
from tipping backwards.
5. Remove the two (2) bolt assemblies (including washers) at the front corners of
the operator guard (Fig. 36).
6. Two (2) persons are needed to lift the operator guard. Avoid slippery surfaces
when lifting the operator guard.
7. Stand on the ground (one person on each side) and lift the operator guard using
the grab handles and the bottom of the guard (Fig. 37 & 38).
8. Lift slowly until the operator guard is all the way up. The operator guard will lock
in this position.
