2 SAFETY
2.16 Parking the Machine
•
If possible, turn the machine off only on an even and solid surface.
•
Lower the lift arms to the frame stop and rest the bucket on the ground.
•
Turn off the engine as described in the operating instructions.
•
Close the machine doors and windows (if equipped), remove the key to
secure the machine against unauthorized use.
2.17 Towing/Retrieving the Machine
•
Always observe the correct procedure as described in the operating
instructions.
•
The machine should be towed only in exceptional cases, for example to
bring the machine away from an endangered place for repair.
•
Check all trailing and drawing devices for their safety when pulling or
towing.
•
Towing equipment such as ropes, rods, etc., must be of the correct capacity
and must use at least two of the d-rings on the front or rear of the machine
on the chassis.
•
Pull the rope taut slowly and carefully. A sudden jerk can cause a sagging
rope or cable to tear or snap.
