PLACING THE MACHINE IN SAFE CONDITIONS
Before carrying out any repair operation on this ma-
chine, place it in safe conditions.
Move the machine to a level and firm ground, away
from any soft ground, excavations or poorly shored
cavity.
Rest the bucket on the ground.
Place the direction-of-travel lever and gearshift lever
in neutral position.
Immobilize the machine by means of the parking
brake.
Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
Release the hydraulic pressure by operating the
control levers in all directions.
Place some wedges under the wheels so as to pre-
vent the machine from moving.
Make sure that the door and the engine guard are
correctly fastened and lock the operator’s compart-
ment door.
Check that no part of the machine is protruding onto
the public highway. If this cannot be avoided, install
signs in compliance with the relevant regulations.
