PARK SAFELY
Park in an off the road area, out of traffic, or as
instructed. If necessary to park in a traffic lane, use
the appropriate flags, barriers, flares, lights and
warning signals. Provide advance warning signals in
the traffic lane to warn approaching traffic.
Park on level ground whenever possible. (FIG. 29)
When not possible, position the machine at right
angles to the slope. Make sure the machine is on a
firm footing, and that there is no danger of sliding.
DO NOT leave your machine until you are sure it
is safely blocked in both directions and parking
brakes are firmly applied. (FIG. 28)
Lower the blade and all other hydraulically-
operated attachments (if so equipped) to the
ground.
