MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING OR REPLACING THE BUCKET
STOPPERS (BOLTS/NUTS)
• If you must work beneath the raised lift
arms, use the lift arm stopper to
securely support the lift arms. Never get
under the lift arms and bucket if they
are not sufficiently supported.
• Immediately repair or replace with a
new one if any damage or missing part
is found in the lift arm stopper. Failure to
do so may cause the lift arms to fall,
resulting in a serious injury or death.
• Park the machine on a solid flat ground
for work.
• Work as a 2-person team, and stay in
communication with each other.
· One person must sit at the operator’s
seat and stop the engine whenever
necessary, and must take care not to
touch the lever or pedal unless
necessary. Set the engine speed to
low when operating the control lever.
· The one who performs maintenance
must make sure to keep his/her body
or clothing away from the moving
parts of the machine.
For the adjustment of the bucket stoppers,
install the lift arm stopper (2) used for the lift
arms adjustment on the lift cylinder while the
pin hole (1) of the lift arms should be
positioned at the height of approximately
1600 mm (63 in.) above the ground, as
shown in the figure on the right. Adjustment
work should be done while maintaining the
machine at this configuration. To perform the
inspection safely, obtain the lift arm stopper
(2) and the lock pin (3) in advance. The work
should be done by two people. One of them
must sit at the operator’s seat and start/
stop/operate the machine whenever
necessary, while the other person installs/
removes the lift arm stopper (2) and adjusts
the bucket stoppers.
