4.12 Parking
When parking the machine overnight, or for
an extended period, the following procedure in
addition to that given in 'Stopping the Engine'
will help maintain it in good condition for
subsequent use:
1. Fill the fuel tank completely, to prevent
condensation. If security kit is supplied, keep it
locked.
2. Always park the machine on level ground
where possible. If the machine must be
parked on a grade, position the machine at
right angles to the grade and block the wheels
securely.

expected, make sure the cooling system has
sufficient antifreeze to prevent the coolant
freezing. If antifreeze cannot be added to
the cooling system, drain the cooling system
completely.
Check all tyres, hoses, wiring, tubing and
fittings for cuts, ply separation, abrasion,
fraying, or other damage or deterioration.
Inspect for structural damage to the cab,
body and chassis. Attach warning signs to the
steering wheel or to a control to alert others if
lubricant has been drained, batteries removed
etc.
4.13 Prolonged Storage
Turn the circuit breaker beside battery to
“shutoff” position to prevent battery leakage
when removing CEC memory and radio power
supply.
Retune the radio if the circuit breaker is set
again.
Note:
The code in CEC memory may be lost
after the power supply is disconnected.
