Danger of injury due to uncon-
trolled machine movements
• Park the machine only on a level
and solid surface.
• When parking the machine, the
uppercarriage must be longitudi-
nal to the undercarriage, and the
cab must be in the home position.
The dipperstick must be posi-
tioned vertically and the open
grab must be placed on the
ground. The stabilizer should be
retracted in the standard version
with stabilizer plates, if using en-
larged stabilizer plates (optional),
place these on the floor (see fig.
122).
• Plates should be pushed under
the grab tips to stop them digging
into the ground.
In an emergency: Administer first
aid, seek treatment from a doctor

tachment must be lowered carefully, as the
ground could be damaged by the weight of the
loading equipment.
