After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all movement to
stop before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing the
machine.
•
Do not touch parts that may be hot from operation.
Allow them to cool before attempting to maintain,
adjust, or service the machine.
•
Clean debris from drives, mufflers, and the engine
to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.

Parking the Machine

Parking on a Grade
Parking the machine on a grade should be avoided if
possible. If the machine must be parked on a grade,
park it at a right angle to the slope, engage the parking
brake and block the wheels, if necessary.
Parking the Machine for a Long
Period of Time
1. Park the machine out of main traffic areas and
engage the parking brake.
2. When the machine will be out of use for a long
period of time, tilt the hopper up so water, snow,
and debris will not collect inside.
3. Cover the dump cylinder shaft to prevent
corrosion.
Moving the Machine without
Engine Power

engine does not run. The transmission features a
bypass valve (Figure 7).
•
Rotate the bypass valve counterclockwise to tow
the machine.
•
Rotate the bypass valve clockwise to operate the
machine normally.
