Operation On Inclines; Shut-Down Procedure - Terex PT60 Operation And Maintenance Manual

5.12 Operation on Inclines

By design, Compact Track Loaders are very stable on inclines. Machine weight is
distributed evenly throughout the chassis and the suspended undercarriage track
system provides excellent traction and floatation on nearly all surfaces.
Even with these capabilities, extreme caution should always be exercised
while operating the machine on an incline. Avoid operation on steep
inclines. Do not make sudden changes in direction, move slowly, and always
carry loads low to maximize machine stability.
5.13 Shut Down Procedure
1. Stop, lower and disconnect any work attachments that may be coupled to
the quick attach.
2. Park the machine in a safe location (on firm and level ground) where it is
protected from the elements and vandals.
3. Lower the lift arms until they rest on the frame stops.
4. Reduce engine RPM to a low idle.
5. Turn the ignition key to the off position to stop the engine.
6. Remove the safety belt and raise the lap bar (if equipped).
7. Open the door (if equipped) and exit the machine using 3 points of contact
as described in the starting procedure in this section.
