2. Using a jack or hoist capable of lifting the fully-equipped weight of the loader
(with all attached options), lift the rear of the loader until the rear tires are off
the ground.
3. Stack wooden blocks under the flat part of the loader chassis. They should
run parallel with, but not touch, the rear tires.
4. 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.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the front end. When the procedure is finished, all
four tires are off the ground, so they could be removed.
Loader Lowering Procedure
When service or adjustment procedures are complete, the loader can be lowered
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.
