2. CONTROLS 2. 7 LIFT ARM SUPPORTS For your safety, the loader is equipped with lift arm supports to be used while performing regular service or maintenance work. The lift arm supports, when extended, prevent the lift arms from dropping if hydraulic pressure is relieved or the boom controls are accidentally cycled. To operate the lift arm supports, first remove any bucket or attachment from the quick - tach, raise the lift arms to full height and shut OFF the engine. Push the two lift arm support pin handles located directly in front of the operator at the top of the operator compartment (Fig. 2.7A) outward extending the lift arm locking pins (Fig. 2.7B).
Slowly lower the lift arms down onto the pins. To retract the support pins, first lift the lift arms off of the pins before retracting. C3135 Fig. 2.7A Fully retract the lift arm supports before raising or lowering lift arms. IMPORTANT C3949 C694 Fig. 2.7B 15 Lift Ar m Sup
