Operating Instructions
SAFE PARKING PROCEDURES
The operator must continue the use of safety precau-
tions when preparing for parking and engine shut-
down.
In the event that the equipment is being worked in
consecutive shifts, any questionable truck perform-
ance the operator may have noticed must be checked
by maintenance personnel before the truck is released
to another operator.

all possible. If parking must be done on a grade,
the truck should be positioned at right angles to
the grade.
2. The parking brake must be applied and/or chocks
placed fore/aft of wheels so that the truck cannot
roll. Each truck should be parked at a reasonable
distance from another.
3. Haul roads are not safe parking areas. In an emer-
gency, pick the safest spot most visible to other
machines in the area. If the truck becomes dis-
abled where traffic is heavy, mark the truck with
warning flags in daylight or with flares at night.

portant and should be followed at each shutdown.
