3.15 PARKING THE SHOVEL
Park the machine at a safe place on level and solid ground.

● Move the safety lock lever fully to the rear in locked position.
WARNING
DO NOT leave the Operator’s Cab when the engines are run-
ning.
● Be sure to lock the operator’s cab door before leaving the
Shovel.
● If the Shovel has to be parked on steep terrain, the track
groups must be secured with wedges.
● Before leaving the Shovel make sure that the parked machine
does not impair local requirements, have consideration for
other mining traffic.
CLEANING THE TRACK GROUPS
Under working conditions with excessive material build up on the
crawler components, cleaning of the crawlers is very important to
prevent damage.
Material build up on guide wheels, drive sprockets and tracks can
lead to over tensioning of the tracks, resulting in severe damage
to these components.
If there is danger of frost, the tracks must also be cleaned.
OTICE
Use a suitable cleaning device for removing dirt, mud and
debris from the tracks, rollers, guide wheels and sprockets.
