Parking On An Incline - Komatsu WB140-2N Operation & Maintenance Manual

OPERATION

PARKING ON AN INCLINE

Parking on slopes, hills or any kind of an incline is not recommended. If
at all possible, park the machine on a flat level surface. However, some
times if this is not possible, when parking on a slope:
Follow all the procedures listed in parking the machine
Lower the front end loader and dig the leading edge into the ground sev-
eral inches. Be sure the bucket is tipped forward to help keep the dig-
ging force in a downward position. Move the control lever into the
"Free Float" position.
Place blocks under both front and rear wheels to help secure the
machine in place.
When setting the backhoe on the ground, dig the bucket teeth into the
ground to help hold the machine in place. Do not raise the back end of
the machine up when doing this procedure.
Never park the machine with the wheels off the ground. The
danger of having the machine lowered on to someone
becomes possible when the machine is unattended. Always
lower the work equipment and machine down to the ground
fully when parking the machine.
