Lift Arm Brace
The lift arm brace (fig. 4-1, item A) is intended to keep
service personnel safe when it is necessary to work on
a machine with the lift arms in the raised position. It is
not safe to rely on the hydraulic system to hold the lift
arms in the raised position just as it is not safe to crawl
under a machine supported only by a jack. The lift arm
brace is used to support the weight of the lift arms
much like jack stands are used to mechanically
support vehicle weight.
1. Park the machine on level ground in a safe area
To install the lift arm brace:
for performing service work.
2. Remove any attachments that may be fastened to
the quick attach.
3. Have an assistant remove the retaining pins (fig.
4-2, item B)securing the lift arm brace and remove
it from the machine.
4. Make sure bystanders are clear of the lift arms,
then raise them to the upper limit.
5. Have an assistant install the brace around the
cylinder shaft as shown and reinstall the pins to
secure it to the cylinder.
6. Lower the lift arms slowly until they come to rest
on the brace.
7. It is now safe to shut the engine off and exit the
machine.
To remove the lift arm brace:
Do not work on or near the machine with the
lift arms in the raised position unless the lift
arm brace has been correctly installed.
1. Start the machine and raise the lift arms until they
are clear of the brace.
2. Once clear, have an assistant remove the brace
from the cylinder and stow it on the machine with
the pins.
3. Once the brace has been stowed and the assistant
is clear of the lift arms, lower the arms to the
ground and shut the engine off to complete the
procedure.
