Parking Machine
Park machine on firm, level ground away from traffic and away
from high walls, drop-offs and any area of potential water
accumulation or runoff. If parking on an incline is unavoidable,
block wheels to prevent movement. Lower bucket or other
working attachment completely to ground, or to an support
saddle, to prevent unintended or accidental movement.
When parking on public roads, provide fences barricades, signs,
flags, or lights, and put up any other necessary signs to ensure
that passing traffic can see machine clearly. Park machine so
machine, flags, barricades, signs and fences do not obstruct
traffic.
After front attachment has been lowered to an overnight storage
position and all switches and operating controls are in "OFF"
position and place the pilot cutoff switch to "O" (OFF) position.
This will disable all pilot control functions.
Always close door of operator's cabin and lock all equipment to
prevent any unauthorized person from operating the machine.
The hydraulic system remains pressurized, provided that the
accumulator, is charged even when engine is not running.
Accumulator pressure should decrease in a short time
(approximately one minute). While hydraulic system maintains a
charge, hydraulic work tools and machine controls remain
functional.
Machine movement will occur if any controls are moved. This
can result in death or serious injury.
Always move hydraulic lockout control to "LOCK" position before
stopping the engine or immediately after engine stops running.
