WARNING
Avoid stopping suddenly. Give yourself ample room when
stopping.
When stopping the machine, select flat hard ground and avoid
dangerous places. If it is unavoidably necessary to park the
machine on a slope, insert blocks underneath the track shoes.
As an additional safety measure, thrust the bucket into the
ground.
If the control lever is touched by accident, the work equipment
or the machine may move suddenly, and this may lead to a
serious accident. Before leaving the operator’s compartment,
always set the safety lock lever securely to the LOCK position.
