SAFETY AVOID INJURY FROM ROLLAWAY ACCI- DENTS Death or serious injury may result if you attempt to mount or stop a moving machine. To avoid rollaways: Select level ground when possible to park ma- chine. Do not park the machine on a grade. Lower the bucket and/or other work tools to the ground. Turn the auto-idle switch and the H/P mode switch off. Run the engine at slow idle speed without load for 5 minutes to cool down the engine. Stop the engine and remove the key from the key switch. Pull the pilot control shut-off lever to LOCK posi- tion. Block both tracks and lower the bucket to the ground. Thrust the bucket teeth into the ground if you must park on a grade.

Position the machine to prevent rolling. Park a reasonable distance from other machines. SA-391 SA-392 020-E02A-0493 SA-16
