Park the machine on firm and level ground. If this is not possible
and it is necessary to park on a slope, position the machine with
the bucket directed downwards and carry out the following op-
erations:
1 - Rotate the bucket to the dumping position and lower the
arms until thrusting the teeth into the ground.
2 - Stop the engine.
3 - Put wedges or safety blocks under the tracks.
q
Always lower the work equipment to the ground; if it is neces-
sary to park with raised arms, make sure that the safety locks
are engaged.
q
Always lock the equipment control by shifting the safety lever
(1) to the “locked” position (L).
q
When leaving the machine, remove the ignition key.

If it is necessary to park on public roads, provide for signalling
the presence of the machine according to the local regulations
in force (signalling fires, fences, road works ahead, two-way
traffic, guide signs, etc.).
