OPERATIONS AND CHECKS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
STOPPING & PARKING

equipment or the machine may move suddenly, and this
may lead to a serious accident. Before leaving the opera-
tor's compartment, always raise the safety lock lever to
LOCK the work equipment controls.
In certain conditions it may be possible for the safety

tor seat.
to avoid this, always ensure that the left hand arm rest is
stowed in the fully up position before operating the
safety lock lever.
When parking the machine, select flat hard ground and
●
avoid dangerous places. If it is unavoidable to park the
machine on a slope, insert chocks underneath the
wheels. As an additional safety measure, thrust the
bucket into the ground.
