could fall and be crushed by the attachments, or get
caught in the linkages.

1 Lower the excavator bucket and dozer to the ground,
if they are not already there. They will lower
themselves under their own weight when you operate
the controls. Operate the controls carefully to control
the rate of descent.
!MCAUTION
On machines fitted with hose burst protection valves
the attachments cannot be lowered with the engine
stopped. On these machines start the engine and
lower the attachments before doing the walk round
inspection.

before starting the engine.
