Install the long bolt through the holes, and secure it
with a locknut torqued to 102 N-m (75 ft-lb); refer to
Figure 4.
Note:
The stabilizer leg pivots rearward on the bolt.
If you install the bolt into the wrong hole, the stabilizer
leg will not work properly.

Insert the clevis pin (Figure 4) to lock the front
stabilizer leg in position.
Note:
Rotate the stabilizer leg up for towing the machine,
and down when the machine is stationary. Always insert the
clevis pin through the appropriate holes to ensure that the
stabilizer leg does not move unexpectedly.
