Lift Arm Stop
WARNING
If you must work beneath the raised
lift arms, securely engage the lift arm
stop. Never get under the lift arms
and bucket if they are not sufficiently
supported.
Service the lift arm stop if damaged or
if parts are missing. Using a damaged
lift arm stop or with missing parts can
cause the lift arms to drop, causing
injury or death.
Maintenance and service work can be done
with the lift arms lowered. If the lift arms
are raised, use the following procedures to
engage and disengage an approved lift arm
stop.
Engagement
1. Park the machine on level ground and
remove the bucket or attachment.
2. Lower the lift arms to the ground and stop
the engine.
3. Align the hook (4) on the tip of the locking
pin (1) with the locking pin.
4. Support the lift arm stop (2) by hand and
pull out the locking pin (1).
5. Check that the spring (3) moves freely
(i.e., is disengaged from the hook (5)) and
place the lift arm stop (2) on the cylinder.
6. Sit in the seat, fasten the seat belt, start
the engine and lower the safety bar.
7. Raise the lift arms slowly until the lift arm
stop (2) drops onto the cylinder rod.
8. Lower the lift arms slowly until the lift arm
stop is held between the lift arm and the
end of the cylinder tube.
9. Stop the engine.
10. Install the locking pin (1) into the rear of
the lift arm stop (2) below the cylinder
rod.
11. To prevent the locking pin (1) from falling
off, set the hook (4) at a right angle to the
locking pin.
