Parking machine 0.
WARNING
Avoid stopping suddenly. Give yourself ample room
when stopping.
Do not park the machine on slopes.
If the machine has to be parked on a slope, set it fac-
ing directly down the slope, then dig the bucket into
the ground and put blocks under the tires to prevent
the machine from moving.
If the control lever is touched by accident, the work
equipment or the machine may move suddenly, and
this may lead to a serious accident. Before leaving
the operator's compartment, always set the safety
lock lever securely to the LOCK position.
Even if the parking brake lever is pulled and set to the
LOCK position, there is a danger of the machine mov-
ing until the parking brake pilot lamp lights up, so
keep the brake pedal depressed.
NOTICE
Never use the parking brake lever to brake the machine
when traveling except in an emergency. Apply the parking
brake only after the machine has stopped.
1. Release accelerator pedal (1), then depress brake pedal (2)
to stop the machine.
2. Place directional lever (3) in N (neutral) position.
