Operating techniques
Stopping and parking the machine 53
Stopping and parking the mach-
ine
– Use control levers (2) and (8) to park the excavator on a solid,
level base and lower the working attachment to the ground.
– Reduce the engine speed: Set the throttle lever to "idle speed
position".
NOTE! Do not shut the engine down all of a sudden from full
load, but let it idle for a short while for temperature equaliza-
tion.
1 To shut the engine down turn the key in the ignition switch to
"Stop position" (position 1)!
2 All control lights go out.
3 Check whether all switches and control elements are switched
off or out of function.
4 Pull the ignition key out of the ignition switch when it is in "Stop
position" (position 1).
5 Close or lock all covers.
6 Shift lever (4) of the safety interlock to position (A). The opera-
ting levers for working and travel hydraulics are locked (no mo-
vement possible).
7 Interrupt the electric supply with the battery disconnecting
switch (option).
WARNING!
Before leaving the cabin lower the excavating equipment to
the ground. Pull the safety locking lever back to lock the
control functions.
