Before leaving the cab, always lower all
attachments to the ground and lock the control
functions.
1 If possible park the machine on solid and level
ground and lower the attachment and dozer

NOTE!
Do not shut the engine down all of a sudden from
full load, but let it idle for a short while for
temperature equalization.
