PARKING AND SHUT DOWN
When parking the Kanga always select level ground and lower any bucket or attachment fitted fully
to the ground. To shut down, reduce the engine speed to idle and turn the key to the off position.
Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
CAUTION: Do not park or leave the machine on steep slopes.
• When loading/unloading the Kanga from the trailer, it is important that the trailer remains
attached to the towing vehicle on a firm even surface.
• Do not unload a trailer on a slope.
• Ensure bystanders are sufficiently clear.
• All loading/unloading to be carried out using a ramp must be done at a slow speed, with due
care for personal safety and damage to equipment. Practice the manoeuvres first on flat
ground if necessary.
• Use appropriately rated slings and shackles, and attach to the lifting point on the top of the
machine when lifting the machine.
• Always use the tie down points on each side of the machine to secure the Loader
when transporting.
• Always use witches hats, signage and traffic signals to control the unloading/loading zone,
particularly when in close proximity to operational roads.
