Loader Raising Procedure
To raise the skid-steer loader so all four tires are off the ground, use the procedure
below:
Do not rely on a jack or hoist to maintain the
raised position without additional blocking
and supports. Serious personal injury could result from improp-
erly raising or blocking the loader.
1. To block the loader, obtain enough suitable blocks (solid wood, hard plastic
or metal) so all of the tires are raised off the ground.
2. Using a jack or hoist capable of lifting the fully-equipped weight of the loader
(with all attached options), lift the rear of the loader until the rear tires are off
the ground.
3. Stack wooden, hard plastic or metal blocks under the flat part of the loader
chassis. They should run parallel with, but not touch, the rear tires.
4. Slowly lower the loader until its weight rests on the blocks. If the tires still
touch the ground, raise the loader again, add more blocks and lower again.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the front end. When the procedure is finished, all
four tires are off the ground, so they could be removed.
