9.15 Stopping the machine in normal conditions
To stop the machine in normal conditions, proceed in one of two ways:
1- using the prime mover controls, reduce the diesel engine speed so that the engine is idling and switch
off the hydraulic oil flow;
2- deactivate the drum by flipping the switch on the control unit (featured on the machines with 3
hydraulic lines) to OFF.
These two procedures both stop the machine completely and immediately.
9.16 Emergency stops
To stop the machine in an emergency, the operator can use the following controls on the prime mover:
- press emergency stop button (when this control is featured);
- get up from driver’s seat (when the dead-man’s switch is featured);
- lift up the operator’s armrest (when the dead-man’s switch is featured);
- switch off the diesel engine with the ignition/OFF key.

For further details on how to stop the machine, see the prime mover’s instruction manual.
9.17 Parking
Lower the machine to the ground, stop the prime mover’s diesel engine, engage the brake or any other
parking devices (when featured) and remove the ignition key.
Every time you finish a work cycle, make sure the machine is set down on the ground, in
the inoperative position.
Park the vehicle in a suitable place, where there are no risks of the machine being
damaged.
If the operator leaves the machine unattended, the keys must be removed from the p.m. and
measures must be taken to ensure no unauthorised persons can get on the machine and
use it.
