Situation:
The pivot area for the #4 and #5 lift arms can fracture when the hardware is allowed to remain loose
for an extended time. Ensuring the hardware remains tight has been the subject of previous service
bulletins. In rare instances where the hardware is allowed to run loose, a twisting force is applied to
the support area and can lead to fractures of the pivot support area. (Figure 1)
Instructions:
Should a fracture occur in the pivot support area, use Lift Support Frame Repair Kit (119-6950)
to repair the area. Figure 2 is a representation of the kit contents. Inspect the two Lift Arm Pivot
Shafts (95-8531) for wear and replace as necessary. Pivot shafts must be ordered separately.
