• Avoid a sudden stop. Stop the machine gradually.
• Do not park the machine on a slope.
If it is unavoidable to park the machine on a slope,
place the machine at a right angle to the slope face,
chock the tires, and then lower the bucket to the
ground.
• If the control lever is touched by accident, the machine
may move suddenly, and this may lead to a serious
personal injury or death. Before leaving the operator's
seat, always lock the work equipment (the pilot lamp in
the switch lights up).

danger until the parking brake pilot lamp on the moni-
tor lights up. Keep depressing the brake pedal.
