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 (if equipped, see note) 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.
Note: Some machines may not be equipped with D-rings at the corners of the
chassis. If your machine is not equipped with D-rings, the machine may not
be towed or retrieved by pulling or dragging the machine. It must instead be
lifted from above through the use of the optional lift kit, or from underneath, sup-
porting the center portion of both of the torsion axles as the machine is placed on
a trailer for transport. It can then be properly secured and transported to a suit-
able location for repair.
