2 CONTROLS
2. 11 BOOM SUPPORT
For safety while performing regular service or
maintenance work, the loader is equipped with boom
support pins. The boom support pins, when extended,
prevent the boom arms from dropping if hydraulic
pressure is relieved or the foot control pedals accidentally
cycled.
To operate the boom support, first remove any bucket or
attachment from the quick-tach; raise the boom arms to
full height; push the two boom lock pin handles (Fig. 2.
11A), located directly in front of the operator at the top of
the operator compartment, outward, extending the boom
support pins (See Fig. 2. 11B). Slowly lower the boom
arms down onto the pins. To retract the support pins, first
lift the boom arms off of the pins before retracting.
