PRECAUTION DURING OPERATION SAFETY
36
WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.
PARKING THE MACHINE
Park on level ground whenever possible. If not possible, chock
the wheels, lower the bucket to the ground and thrust the bucket
in the ground.
●
When parking on public roads, provide fences and signs,
such as flags or lights, on the machine to warn passers by to
be careful. Be sure that the machine, flags or lights do not
obstruct traffic.
REMARK
In certain conditions it may be possible for the safety lock
lever to contact the left hand arm rest on the operator seat.
To avoid this, always ensure that the left hand arm rest is stowed
in the fully up position before operating the safety lock lever.
● When leaving the machine, lower the work equipment com-
pletely to the ground, raise the safety lock lever to the LOCK
position, then stop the engine and use the key to lock the
machine. Always take the key with you.
WARNING
if the control lever is touched by accident, the work equip-
ment or the machine may move suddenly, and this may lead
to a serious accident. Before leaving the operator’s compart-
ment, always raise the safety lock lever to lock the work
equipment controls.
