grade, position the machine at right angles to the grade and block wheels
securely. Lock the doors.
3. If below freezing temperatures are expected, make sure the cooling
system has sufficient antifreeze to prevent the coolant freezing. If anti-
freeze cannot be added to the cooling system, drain the system com-
pletely.

abrasion, fraying, or other damage or deterioration. Inspect for structural
damage to the cab, body and chassis. Attach warning signs to the steer-
ing wheel or to a control to alert others if lubricant has been drained, bat-
teries removed etc.
