Center Joint (Articulation Joint)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The loader frame is an articulated type: the front frame is joined to the rear frame with two hinge pins
around which the loader pivots for steering.
CAUTION!
When the loader is steered, the area near
the center hinge pins becomes so narrow
that you might get caught between the
front and rear frames. Before trying to
service the loader, make sure to set the
frame lock plate.
Prior to moving (traveling) the loader,
make sure the frame lock plate is set to
the original position.
