LIFT ARM SUPPORT DEVICE
Your Mini-Skid is equipped with a lift
arm support device. This is bolted to
the bottom of the leveling arm on the
left side of the machine.
In order to safely work underneath
the lift arms, remove the support
device from the leveling arm and
remove any attachment from the
Mini-Skid. Raise the lift arms to their
maximum extension and place the
support device onto the lift cylinder
of the Mini-Skid. Lock the support in
place using the bolt that attached it
to the leveling arm.
Ensure the machine is shut off
before performing any work on the
Mini-Skid. After completing work on
the Mini-Skid remove the support
device from the lift cylinder and
replace it on the leveling arm.
LIFTING THE MINI-SKID
Lift lugs are provided at the top of
the Mini-Skid to facilitate lifting the
Mini-Skid as a unit.
Both lift lugs must be used in order
to properly balance the machine
when it is being lifted. Use a sling to
hook each lift lug.
Ensure that all lift equipment is rated
for the weight of the Mini-Skid being
lifted. Machine weights vary from
1700 lbs to 2300 lbs (without
attachments).
