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.
q
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, direction signs, etc.).
