Do not park the machine on a slope.
If it is unavoidably necessary to park the machine on a
slope, place parking brake lever (4) in LOCK position
and insert blocks underneath the track shoes to pre-
vent the machine from moving. As an additional safety
measure, thrust the work equipment into the ground.

mistake, the work equipment may move suddenly
causing a serious accident. Before leaving the opera-
tor's seat, always secure work equipment lock lever (7)
in LOCK position.

gine speed and machine travel speed.
