Fixed Stands
Fixed Stands generally consist of a welded bracket, a bolted joint and a pin,
offering two positions: In Work and Retracted. Simply remove pin, rotate the
bracket until in retracted or in work position and re-insert pin. Pins must always
be secured with an additional lynch pin. Never lift stands from the front or back;
always position them from the side so the stand pivots to the left or right of you.
Example:
Slide Out Stands
Slide out stands are primarily used on machines with legs or other features that
have a variable depth/seating position. Slide out stands generally consists of a
sliding foot which can be pinned in multiple positions. To avoid damage to either
the machine or yourself, ensure stand is fully supported before removing the
pin, be careful not to allow it to slip or plummet suddenly, and pin once it is
situated as desired before letting go. Always ensure to keep feet and other body
parts away from the drop zone to ensure they are not crushed.
