Operation
3.12 Parking the machine
Always park the machine on firm ground.
Accident hazard!
☞ Lower the loader unit to the ground
☞ Park the machine on level ground
☞ Secure the wheels/tracks accordingly (for example chocks).
☞ Stop the machine
☞ Lower the loader unit to the ground
☞ Ensure that the cutting edge touches the ground as you align the bucket with the
ground
☞ Reduce engine speed completely.
☞ Apply the parking brake.
☞ Disengage the starter.
Never stop the engine under full load, otherwise it can be damaged due to
overheating. Except in case of an emergency, always ensure that the engine
can cool down before it is stopped.
☞ Let the engine run at idling speed with no load for at least 5 minutes before
you switch it off.
Parking the machine on slopes
☞ Avoid stopping the machine abruptly. Always ensure that there is enough space for
stopping the machine (especially if the engine is cold).
• Park the machine on level ground with sufficient bearing capacity. Never park on
slopes. If you cannot avoid parking the machine on a slope:
☞ Place chocks under the wheels/tracks and lower the loader unit to the ground to
prevent the machine from moving.
• Serious accidents may be caused by unintentionally actuating the control levers, and
hence moving the attachment or the entire machine.
☞ Always apply the parking brake and remove the starting key before leaving the seat.
