To engage the lift arm support device:

1. Lower the lift arm fully onto the loader frame.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Leave the operator’s compartment. Remove the lock pin holding the support device up against the lift arm. Allow the support device to drop down into contact with the lift cylinder.

4. Return to the operator’s compartment and start the engine.

5. Raise the lift arm until the lift arm support device drops over the end of the lift cylinder and around the cylinder rod. Slowly lower the lift arm until the support device contacts the top end of the lift cylinder.

6. Be sure the support device is secure against the cylinder end. Then, stop the engine, remove the key and leave the operator’s compartment.
