5 Operate the control lever to lower the shovel/
attachments to the ground. Once they are on the
ground, operate the controls a little further so that it
begins to take the weight of the machine.
Note: Make sure that the shovel/attachments lie flat on the
ground to prevent accidental movement.
6 Lock the controls. Refer to Loader Control Locks.
7 It is recommended that turbocharged engines are run
at 1000 RPM (approximately) and reduced load for 2
- 3 minutes before shut down. This will allow the
turbocharger to cool.
8 If you are leaving the machine, make sure that all
switches are switched off. If necessary, leave the
hazard warning and/or sidelights switched on.
Remove the starter key.
9 Use the handholds and step when you climb down
from the machine. If you are leaving the machine,
close and latch all windows and lock the door.
!MWARNING
Entering/Leaving
Entering or leaving the cab or canopy must only be
made where steps and handrails are provided. Always
face the machine when entering and leaving. Make
sure the step(s), handrails and your boot soles are
clean and dry. Do not jump from the machine. Do not
use the machine controls as handholds, use the
handrails.
