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, and is painted red.
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.
Important
Never Lower The Lift Arms With The
Support Device In Place. Damage To
The Lift Cylinder Will Result.
WARNING
Before Performing Any Work
Underneath The Mini Lift Arms Remove
Any Attachment And Raise The Lift Arm
To Full Height. Use The Lift Arm
Support To Lock The Arms In The
Raised Position
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). Contact
Ramrod Equipment or your nearest
dealer for more information.
