28 Safety Section (D6T LGP (OEM)) WEBM1000 Parking Table 1 Prevent battery discharge that is caused by a battery short circuit. Prevent battery discharge that is caused by some of the components. Prevent battery discharge that is caused by vandalism. Slope Operation Machines that are operating safely in various applications depend on these criteria: the machine model, configuration, machine maintenance, operating speed of the machine, conditions of the terrain, fluid levels and tire inflation pressures. The most important criteria are the skill and judgment of the operator.
A well trained operator that follows the instructions in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, has the greatest impact on stability. Operator training provides a person with the following abilities: observation of working and environmental conditions, feel for the machine, identification of potential hazards and operating the machine safely by making appropriate decisions. When you work on side hills and when you work on slopes, consider the following important points: Speed of travel – At higher speeds, forces of inertia tend to make the machine less stable. Roughness of terrain or surface – The machine may be less stable with uneven terrain.
Direction of travel – Avoid operating the machine across the slope. When possible, operate the machine up the slopes and operate the machine down the slopes. Place the heaviest end of the machine uphill when you are working on an incline. Mounted equipment – Balance of the machine may be impeded by the following components: equipment that is mounted on the machine, machine configuration, weights and counterweights. Nature of surface – Ground that has been newly filled with earth may collapse from the weight of the machine. Surface material – Rocks and moisture of the surface material may drastically affect the machine's traction and machine's stability.
Rocky surfaces may promote side slipping of the machine. Slippage due to excessive loads – This may cause downhill tracks or downhill tires to dig into the ground, which will increase the angle of the machine. Parking Park on a level surface. If you must park on a grade, use blocks to prevent the machine from rolling. Apply the service brake in order to stop the machine. Move the transmission control lever to NEUTRAL position and move the engine speed switch to the LOW IDLE position. Engage the parking brake. Lower the boom to the ground and fully retract the counterweight. Turn the engine start switch key to OFF position and remove the key.
Turn the key for the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. Remove the key when you exit the machine for an extended period of time. Turning the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position will provide the following benefits:
