SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
2-25
PARKING MACHINE
q
Park the machine on level ground where there is no danger
of falling rocks or landslides, or of flooding if the land is low,
and lower the work equipment to the ground.
q
If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, set the
blocks under the tracks to prevent the machine from mov-
ing, then dig the work equipment into the ground.
q
After stopping the engine, operate the right work equip-
ment control lever several times to the RAISE and LOWER
positions to release the remaining pressure in the hydraulic
circuit.
q
When parking the machine on a road, put up flags, fences, lighting, or warning signs to enable passing vehi-
cles to recognize the machine clearly. At the same time, make sure that these do not cause obstruction to the
passing vehicles.
Procedure for parking: See “PARKING MACHINE (3-108)“.
q
When leaving the machine, set the lock levers (for work equipment and brake) to the LOCK position, and then
stop the engine. In addition, use the key to lock all the equipment. Always remove the key and take it with you
to be kept at a set location.
Work equipment posture: See “PARKING MACHINE (3-108)“
Locks: See “LOCKING (3-110)“
