the retaining pin (b).

Unlocking

Remove the retaining pin and move the lockarm to the UNLOCKED position (2)

before you operate the machine. Reinsert the retaining pin in the lockarm.

NOTICE: Attempting to steer the machine with the lockarm in the locked position

may damage the steering cylinder and locking mechanism.

► Always install the lockarm before you lift the machine, transport the machine, or

perform maintenance near the center of the machine.
