The skid steer loader arms and bucket should be in the down position when not in use. If you must service a skid steer loader with the lift arms raised, you need to use a lift arm support. It is a safety device that prevents injury between the lift arms or bucket and the cab. If the machine is not equipped with a lift arm support device or it is damaged, please have one installed.

Warning: Never work on a machine with the lift arms up unless the lift arms are secured by an approved lift arm support device. Failure to use an approved lift arm support device can allow the lift arms or attachment to fall and cause injury or death.
