SECTION 2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Page 10 2.5. SHUTDOWN If parking on or near traffic lanes cannot be avoided, provide appropriate flags, barriers, flares and warning signals. Also provide advance-warning signals in the traffic lane for approaching traffic. Park the machine in a non-operating and non-traffic area. Park machine on level ground whenever possible. If you must park on a slope, park at right angles to the slope. Apply and lock the brake pedal. Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running.
When leaving the machine unattended, slowly lower the hydraulic equipment to the ground, shift the transmission into neutral and lock the neutral lock lever, shut off the engine, apply and lock the parking brake. Relieve any pressure in the hydraulic system by moving the controls in both directions. Turn off the electrical system master switch and take it out. Always lock up machine when leaving it unattended, including any anti-vandalism attachments. Do not jump off the machine. When operating in bad weather and storm lightening is nearby, dismount and seek shelter away from the machine. Lightening will be attracted to the machine and can cause serious injury or death.
When the machine is to be loaded onto a transport truck and trailer do so carefully. Load only when the trailer is level. The steel track shoes will slide easily on the trailer. When the machine is properly positioned chain it securely so it can not move on the trailer. Keep head, body feet, hands and fingers away from the blade and ripper when they are in a raised position. Do not allow the hydraulic system to support the mounted equipment when leaving the machine unattended, to eliminate possibility of unexpected drop of blade or ripper. TD-20H DRESSTA
