LIFT ARM SUPPORT DEVICE
W–2059–0991
Never work on a machine with the lift arms up
unless the lift arms are secured by a lift arm
support device. Failure to use an approved lift
arm support device can allow the lift arms or
attachment to fall and cause injury or death.
Engaging the Lift Arm Support Device
Maintenance and service work can be done with the lift
arms lowered.
If the lift arms must be raised for service, use the following
procedure:
Put jackstands under the rear corners of the loader.
Disconnect the spring (Item 1) [A] from the lift arm
support device retaining pin (Item 2) [A]. Hold onto the lift
arm support device and remove the retaining pin.
Lower the lift arm support device on top of the lift cylinder.
Hook the free end of the spring (Item 1) [B] to the lift arm
support device so there will be no interference with the
support device engagement.
With the operator in the seat, seat belt fastened and seat
bar lowered, start the engine.
Raise the lift arms, until the lift arm support device drops
onto the lift cylinder rod [C].
Lower the lift arms slowly until the support device is held
between the lift arm and the lift cylinder. Stop the engine.
Raise the seat and move pedals until both pedals lock.
Install pin (Item 1) [C] into the rear of the lift arm support
device below the cylinder rod.
Service lift arm support device if damaged or if
parts are missing. Using a damaged lift arm
support or with missing parts can cause lift
arms to drop causing injury or death.
