SAFETY PARKING ON AN INCLINE Although parking on a slope is not recommended, certain situations dic- tate that you do. Lower the front end loader and dig the leading edge into the ground several inches. Be sure the bucket is tipped forward to help keep the digging 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.
Always fully lower the work equipment and machine to the ground when parking the machine. After performing the above, do the following: 1. Place the directional control (1) in the neutral (N) position. 2. Lower the work equipment to the ground. 3. Turn the engine off and remove the ignition key. 4. Apply the parking brake. 5. Apply all locks. WB140PS-2N WB150PS-2N 1-21
