Engine Stop
Turn engine starter switch to "O" (OFF) position and remove
engine starter switch key.
Before lowering any equipment with engine stopped, clear area
around equipment of all personnel and bystanders. This
procedure will cause high-pressure air or hydraulic pressure to
be released to lower equipment.
Do not stop engine immediately after the machine has been
operated under load. This can cause overheating and
accelerated wear of engine components.
After the machine is parked, allow engine to run for five minutes
before stopping the engine. This allows hot areas of engine to
cool gradually.
•
Do not leave operator's seat when there is a raised load.
Parking Machine
Avoid making sudden stops, or parking machine wherever it
happens to be at end of workday. Park machine on firm and
level ground away from traffic and away from high walls,
drop-offs and any area of potential water accumulation or runoff.
If parking on inclines is unavoidable, block crawler tracks to
prevent movement. Lower bucket or other working attachment
completely to ground, or to an overnight support saddle. To
prevent unintended or accidental movement.
When parking on public roads, provide fences, signs, flags, or
lights, and put up any other necessary signs to ensure that
passing traffic can see machine clearly. Park machine so
machine, flags, signs and fences do not obstruct traffic.
After front attachment has been lowered to an overnight storage
position and all switches and operating controls are in "OFF"
position, safety lever must be moved to "LOCK" position. This
will disable all pilot control functions.
Always close door of operator's cabin and lock all equipment to
prevent any unauthorized person from operating the machine.
The hydraulic system remains pressurized, provided
accumulator, is charged even when engine is not running.
Accumulator pressure should decrease in a short time
(approximately one minute). While hydraulic system maintains a
charge, hydraulic work tools and machine controls remain
functional.
Machine movement will occur if any controls are moved. This
can result in death or serious injury.
Always move safety lever to "LOCK" position before stopping off
engine or immediately after engine stops running.
