4. MAINTENANCE 4. 2 SERVICE ACCESS 1. Lift Arm Support For safety while performing regular service or maintenance work, the loader is equipped with lift arm support pins. The lift arm support pins, when extended, prevent the lift arms from dropping if hydraulic pressure is relieved or the hydraulic controls are accidentally cycled. To operate the lift arm support, first remove any bucket or attachment from the quick-tach and raise the lift arms to full height. Push the lift arm support handle (Fig. 4.2A) out toward lift arms to extend the lift arm supports (Fig. 4.2B). Slowly lower the lift arms down on to the pins.
To retract the lift arm supports, lift the lift arms off of the pins before retracting pins. C3135 Fig. 4.2A Fully retract lift support pins before raising or lowering lift arms. IMPORTANT Lift Arm Support To avoid personal injury: Do not leave lift arms up unless the lift arm supports are engaged. WARNING C3949 Fig. 4.2B C694 2.
