PARKING THE MACHINE
Avoid parking on a slope, however, if parking on a hillside is necessary, park at the right angle to the
slope of the hill and block the tires as shown in Fig. 4.24.
ATTENTION: Avoid parking the machine in puddles of oil, grease or gasoline because this
damages the tires.

IMPORTANT: Holding the control lever in any position except B "hold" and D “float" for an
extended period of time after the hydraulic cylinder rod has reached the limit of its travel will
produce excessive heat in the hydraulic system which may affect loader performance.

(“raise", "hold","lower", and "float")
