STOPPING THE UNIT
Parking the machine
WARNING
Fall hazard!
Jumping on or off the machine could cause an injury. Always face the machine, use the handrails
and steps, and get on or off slowly. Maintain a three-point contact to avoid falling: both hands on the
handrails and one foot on the step, or one hand on the handrail and both feet on the steps.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

1. Park the machine on firm, level ground, and place the
transmission in neutral.
NOTICE: If you must temporarily park the machine
on a hillside, put the front of the machine toward the
bottom of the hill. Make sure the machine is behind an
object that will not move.
2. Lower the dozer blade and ripper (if equipped) to the
ground.

3. Press the momentary toggle switch to engage the
parking brake. The indicator light on the switch and
instrument cluster will illuminate when the parking
brake is engaged.
4. Run the engine at low idle speed for a few minutes if
the engine has been working with a heavy load. This
decreases the temperature of the engine parts evenly.
The turbocharger may be damaged if the engine is not
properly shut down.
5. Make sure the engine is at its lowest idle.
6. Turn the key switch to OFF to stop the engine.
7. When you park the machine, make sure the track sys-
tem is clean. In cold weather, place the machine on
planks. This will prevent the tracks from freezing to
the ground.
