procedure below:
WARNING
raised position without additional blocking and supports. Serious
personal injury could result from improperly raising or blocking the
skid loader.
1. Using a jack or hoist capable of lifting the fully-equipped weight of the
loader (with all attached options, except hitch attachments), lift the rear of
the loader until the rear tires are off the ground.
2. Stack wooden blocks under the flat part of the loader chassis. They should
be parallel to, but not touch, the rear tires (Fig. 33).
3. Slowly lower the loader until its weight rests on the blocks. If the tires still
touch the ground, raise the loader again, add more blocks and lower again.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the front end. When the procedure is
finished, all four tires will be off the ground so they can be removed.
Loader Lowering Procedure
When service or adjustment procedures are complete, the skid loader can be
taken down from the raised position. To lower the loader onto its tires:
1. Using a jack or hoist, raise the front of the loader until its weight no longer
rests on the front blocks.
2. Carefully remove the blocking under the front of the loader.
3. Slowly lower the loader until the front tires are resting on the ground.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the rear of the loader. When the procedure is
finished, all four tires will be on the ground and the blocks removed from
under the loader.
