SAFE PARKING PROCEDURES
The operator must continue the use of safety precau-
tions when preparing for parking and engine shut-
down.
In the event that the equipment is being worked in
consecutive shifts, any questionable truck perform-
ance the operator may have noticed must be checked
by maintenance personnel before the truck is released
to another operator.
1. The truck should be parked on level ground, if at
all possible. If parking must be done on a grade,
the truck should be positioned at right angles to
the grade.
2. The parking brake must be applied and/or chocks
placed fore/aft of wheels so that the truck cannot
roll. Each truck should be parked at a reasonable
distance from another.
3. Haul roads are not safe parking areas. In an
emergency, pick the safest spot most visible to
other machines in the area. If the truck becomes
disabled where traffic is heavy, mark the truck
with warning flags in daylight or flares at night.
NORMAL ENGINE SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
The following procedure should be followed at each
engine shutdown.
1. Stop the truck out of the way of other traffic on a
level surface and free of overhead power lines or
other obstructions (in case dump body should
need to be raised).
a. Reduce engine speed to idle.
b. Place the directional Selector Switch in “Neu-
tral”.
c. Apply the Parking Brake switch. Be sure the
“Parking Brake Applied” indicator light in the
overhead display panel is illuminated.
d. Allow engine to cool gradually by running at low
idle for 3 to 5 minutes, or if preferred, activate
the 5 minute shutdown delay timer as de-
scribed on the following page.
2. Place REST switch in “On” position to put AC
Drive System in “REST” mode of operation. Be
sure the “REST” indicator light in the overhead
panel is illuminated.
3. With engine cooled down, turn keyswitch counter-
clockwise to “Off” position for
normal shutdown
of engine.
If engine does not shutdown with keyswitch, use
Engine Shutdown Switch on operator cab center
console, and hold this switch down until engine
stops.
4. With keyswitch “Off”, and engine stopped, wait at
least 90 seconds. Insure steering circuit is com-
pletely bled down by turning steering wheel back
and forth several times. No front wheel movement
will occur when hydraulic pressure is relieved. If
the vehicle continues to steer after shutdown,
notify maintenance personnel.
5. Verify all LINK VOLTAGE lights are OFF (one on
back interior wall of operator cab, two on electrical
cabinet, on deck), and notify maintenance per-
sonnel if remains illuminated longer than five
minutes after the engine is shut down.
6. Close and lock all windows, remove key from
keyswitch and lock cab to prevent possible un-
authorized truck operation. Dismount truck prop-
erly. Put wheel chocks in place.
DELAYED ENGINE SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1. Stop the truck out of the way of other traffic on a
level surface and free of overhead power lines or
other obstructions (in case dump body should
need to be raised).
a. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
b. Place the directional Selector Switch in “Neu-
tral”.
c. Apply the Parking Brake switch. Be sure the
“Parking Brake Applied” indicator light in the
overhead display panel is illuminated.
2. Place REST switch in “On” position to put AC
Drive System in “REST” mode of operation.
Be sure the “REST” indicator light in the overhead
panel is illuminated.
3. Refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INDICA-
TOR LIGHTS section for location on instrument
panel of the Engine Shutdown Switch with 5
Minute Idle Timer Delay. This is a 3-position
rocker-type switch (Off-On-Momentary).
