Abstract:
In a support assembly for a work vehicle, the support assembly including a support leg assembly and a stabilizer flip pad assembly, the stabilizer flip pad assembly rotatably attached to the support leg assembly, an apparatus for limiting rotation of the stabilizer flip pad assembly to prevent undesired flipping of the stabilizer flip pad assembly, comprising:a locking pin assembly supported by the support leg assembly and including a locking pin; anda restraint arm rotatably supported by the support leg assembly at a rotation axis proximate a first end of the restraint arm, the restraint arm includinga restraint protrusion proximate a second end of the restraint arm and extending perpendicular to a plane of rotation of the restraint arm wherein the restraint protrusion limits rotation of the stabilizer flip pad assembly when the restraint arm is in an extended position, and allows rotation of the stabilizer flip pad assembly past the restraint protrusion when the restraint arm is in a retracted position, anda slot configured to receive the locking pin, wherein the locking pin moves within the slot when the restraint arm rotates, and the restraint arm is capable of being locked in the extended position by the locking pin.
