Placing out of operation
Park the excavator in such a way that it can not
move and is secured against unauthorised use.
• Drive the excavator on level ground. Non-cab models
should be parked under a roof.
• Operate the bucket, arm and boom swing mechanism so
that all hydraulic cylinders are extended half way.
• Lower the dozer onto the ground.
• Reduce the engine speed to idle speed.
• Turn the starter switch (1) to the STOP position, remove the key. The key must remain with the operator.
• Unbuckle the seat belt and raise the left control console.
• Check the excavator for external damage and for leaks. Any defects must be repaired before the next start.
• In case of a heavy accumulation of dirt in the area of the tracks and the hinges at the front attachments,
clean the excavator (page 96).
• Refuel the excavator, if necessary (page 80).
Cab version only
• Open the cab door by pulling up release lever (1). If the cab
door is not closed immediately, afterwards lock the door on
the cab wall.
• Close and lock the cab door. The key must remain with the
operator.
