Parking the Machine SAFETY When parking the machine, it is important to follow several basic safety rules. You are responsible for the security of the machine when it is parked. Always park the machine on a flat, level location away from moving equipment, pedestrians, or traffic. Lower all work equipment completely to the ground. Set work equipment lock lever (1) to the LOCK position (L). Set parking brake switch (2) to the ON position (A) and turn the engine OFF. Remove the ignition key and keep the key with you. See “Leaving Operator’s Compartment” on page 1-18. Be sure all access panels, cab, fuel and oil tanks are locked and secure to prevent tampering with the machine while unattended.
Avoid parking the machine on a slope of any kind. If you must park on a slope, park with the bucket facing down the slope and the wheels blocked to prevent any movement of the machine. WA380-6 1-33
